Officer Lane,
On today, the 50th 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 U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Rest In Peace.

Bag pipes escorted you out of this harsh world and into the gates of Heavan to which you were greeted by the horns of angel's whose song is so beautiful that it be worthy to only a hero such as yourself which so deserve for your sacrifice, may you rest eternally in the Mansions of the Lord, son of the Lord and Heavanly Father. But now you fight for god's law; a law that surpasses all other law. Thank you Officer Leslie for your saintly sacrifice, may I meet you in heavan one day..

I remember Leslie and saw him frequently since I worked Southeast Patrol and Leslie worked Central Patrol. I remember the night you were killed and heard the call come out of an officer getting her gun taken from her in a robbery just as I was ending my tour of duty on the evening shift and the next morning I got the news you had been taken from us. Just wanted to let the loved ones of Leslie know many of us have never forgot him or the sacrifice he made for the city.

As my career's end is coming closer, I decided to check and find those who had lost their lives during the year that I was hired. While it's been a long time since your passing, I'm sure those you left behind and those whom with you served with distinction have kept you alive in their memories. Thank you for your service and for looking out for us who continue in our chosen profession. Rest in peace Officer Lane!

Officer Lane,

"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.

Your death has not been forgotten. I was born that same day, even the same hour you gave your life. I grew up in the Dallas community you served. I'm now a police officer, and I have a little card with your picture and the story of how you sacrificed so much that day. I carry it in my body armor to honor you and remind me everyday of your sacrifice.
