Trooper Harmon,
As I read the story of how you were shot, you lived then died, my heart breaks for your family. Even though many years have gone by, I know there isn't a day that goes by that they don't think about you. You must have gone through hell at times while you were still living. I pray that you did have some peaceful times with your family. You were a hero in every sense...thanks Trooper!

"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.

To Trooper Henry Noel Harmon and his loved ones:

On this the twelth anniversary of your tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today.
You suffered for thirty five years after being shot in the neck. In reading about you, I could not help but relate your story to my own son's incident. He too was shot in the neck and his spinal cord was severed. He did not survive and was pronounced brain dead one day after being shot twice. I hope in those thirty five years after your tragic injury that you did find some peace in your heart and had times of joy.

Trooper Harmon, you rescued us, saved our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Trooper Henry Noel Harmon. I am so humbled by your valor and courage.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Trooper Harmon gave to his community and the citizens of Virginia, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 7, 1995.
