Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hank
Almost another year has gone by. As the days and years come and go I think about you. Life is so unfair. Or should I say death is so unfair. You were a good man.

You served your country in the USMC and again in MPDC. You did more during your 50 plus years than most men or women did in a lifetime.

I’m proud to have been your friend and colleague.

For a long time when I was assigned to HOMICIDE, Hank was my sgt. He was a really nice guy. I was working at WHC the day of the shooting and my best friend in DC Superior Kurt called and told me DC officers and detectives were leaving the court building running over the Hq because there was a shooting in the HOMICIDE office. At least one victim was taken to MEDSTAR at WHC.

When I was finally able to respond to MEDSTAR I was told by doctors there that one of the DOA’s was Sgt Henry “Hank” Daly.
This was one of the darkest days of my life as I looked down at Hank

Hi Hank, I know you watch over me, and you taught me so much. The years under your hard ass, controlling, large shoulders, made my younger years ones I reflect on often. I wouldn't change anything. Loosing you was the worst day of my life. Meeting you was one of my BEST!
Living happily in Fla.

On today, the 25th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I dearly remember Hank...finger in my ear to irritate me. (It did).) He so hated that ATF was in his backyard but he came to love me...no clue, but he did. Sadly, we moved the office. I can never explain why....we loved you Hank. Good memories darling.

Hank, this damn computer crap....I remember when that bastard got you. I had just left my ATF assignment (which you hated) and I was travelling through WDC when I heard. I came to MPD HQ and spoke with Frank Molini and learned that we lost you. You were a hard ass and made me earn your respect. I will always miss and respect you and your caliber.

After twenty years it was nice to see that local and federal law enforcement throughout DC came together to mark the anniversary with a nice service and wreath laying ceremony. As time goes on we will still never forget and remind younger law officers of the devistating day that affected both MPD and FBI.

I was in the US Attorney's Office and heard a gunman was in HQ. I ran to HQ, saw fellow officers coming out of the front doors of 300 and ran to aid them carrying an unknown person.
I grabbed the forward portion of the stretcher and looked down and was unaware of the condition of the person. Eagle landed between HQ and 500 and we loaded the person on board.


Surreal, I put him safely in the bird, the blades of the chopper were in slow motion, whooooop, whoooooop. So slow.
I reached and grabbed his wrist and felt a strong pulse and thought, GREAT. Then I saw a person atop of him, giving CPR.

Everything set in and I have walked with that image to this day.

Only later did I learn it was Hank Daly.. Never knew him, but now I do.

Rest...

Sergeant Daly, ... We knew each other because our enlistment in the Metropolitan Police Department, DC, began at about the same time in Novemeber 1966 (Class #191). We also served in the Morals Division as plainclothesman. Sadly, I attended your funeral representing the Pennsylvania State Police along with Sergeant Arthur F. Tredinnick. Art is dead now, but he knew you through me. He admired your courage greatly and said so. We also learned the circumstances of your death through MPDC officials who recieved us with grace and aplomb when we attended the memorial service in November 1994 which was at the brink of our retirement. I also wrote to your family expressing both my condolences and my admiration of your life and your police service. And as a friend. You are a hero in the eyes of law officers everywhere. This applies also to the very worthy federal agents that also died on the same day. And to the agent that was seriously wounded. We salute you all. After retirement I enlisted in the Lake County Sheriff's Office, Florida and aspired to and entered the homicide bureau, an assignment I had with the state police. Never a day in my law enforcement career did I ever forget the ultimate sacrifices made by you and others before you. Me, and others like me, reached retirement on your shoulders, others like you, and with a whole lot of luck. We salute you and we are grateful.
