Jimmy was an excellent co-worker. He was well thought of by the whole community and it was a tremendous loss when he was lost. We have many fond memories of Jimmy.

I was in the US Army stationed at Ft. Carson Co. Jimmy Kinny was a close friend of mine. We were separated when I was transferred to aviation. My wife and I drove to Many to look him up but was told he had been killed in the line of duty. Was upset by the news and drove back to Blanco Tx. Without trying to find his relatives. Still regret that desission.

Jimmy Allen was my classmate at Sabine High in Many, LA. He was a personable kind man. I have often thought about him and felt such sorrow for his family, friends and the town of Many.
You will always be remembered.

I remember Officer Kenny when I was in High School in Many. He always was nice to me and I remembered him for that. When I found out what happened a sad place was formed in my heart. Rest in Peace Jimmy. Sincerely Mark Hicks.

The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
