Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Paul would have been 72 years old today and it was 29 years ago today that he was recovered from the rubble of the Alfred P Murrah building and 29 years ago today that I had to tell my children that their Dad wasn't coming home. He was a good man who loved his family and his calling in life. He celebrated his heritage and his faith. He will always be remembered with love. We've missed out on so much not having you with us all these years Paul. We love you.

Many people have stepped up and ran over 20 years in his honor and hang their bibs on his chair at the memorial. Paul, his family and the others who perished are not forgetten.

It was my great honor today to represent Paul Gregory Beatty Broxterman at the 20th Anniversary Remembrance Service at First Presbyterian Church, OKC. I was one of 168 voices in the remembrance choir, and we were each asked to select the name of one of the victims, to sing representing their voice, and I chose Paul Gregory Beatty Broxterman. During our Saturday rehearsal, I had lunch with several other members of the choir, and one of the ladies at our lunch table was a survivor of the bombing, she also worked for HUD (as Paul did) on April 19, 1995, and she also knew Paul, so she told me all about Paul. May he rest in peace!

I knew Paul when we worked together at the Ft. Defiance Agency. Paul was a rare person who was deeply committed to serving the Indian People. His efforts were greatly appreciated and I am still sad about his death and I remember the last time I saw him in Phoenix and of him telling me of being transferred to OKC. Paul you are not forgotten and I value my relationship that I had with you and I still have the patch you gave me.

On this 15th anniversary of your senseless death, I want you to know your death was not in vain and that good will always triumph over evil.

I hope you enjoy your eternal rest along with all God's other peacemakers.

Godspeed,

"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.

Dear Paul and Family:

Last May 2007 I rode my bicycle 240 miles in the Police Unity Tour (PUT) Chapter IV in your honor and memory from Portsmouth, Virginia to the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial in Washington, D.C. This was the ride of my life and an honor. You will never be forgotten by the HUD OIG family. This year I am riding over 1,000 miles from FLETC in Glynco, Georgia to the Memorial in D.C., in the FLETC-ride and the PUT ride, in honor and memory of you and your fellow fallen HUD OIG Agent Abdon Cabello, who died at FLETC in April 1999. Both are you will be remembered for your service and ultimate sacrifice. I have been a HUD Agent for over 20 years. Although I never met you Paul, I will always remember you. It is a "Matter of Honor" for me to "Ride For Those Who Died". Thanks for everything you did for us and your family.

12 years ago, I went to work as I normally do. I took my kids to daycare, busied myself with the events of the day and did not think that such an act could ever be possible.

It was snowing here the day this happened and it was a grey day for the funeral of a co-worker and her daughter who had been killed by a drunk driver a few days earlier. I remember feeling anguish for them and then being struck numb after hearing about this incident. The world never felt as safe again.

Thank you for going to work each day to serve the general public. May you reap rewards in heaven and find eternal rest. May your family, friends and co-workers have comfort in the knowledge that God held your hand that morning as he took you home.

Rest well, warrior, the job is done down here and you may guard those who follow in your footsteps from above.

I can remember being so upset that someone would do this only to find out later, the killers were Americans and from my hometown. Many lessons were learned that day. None of you are forgotten.

Paul was always passionate about his work. He knew that evil was very real and he felt a deep obligation to rid the streets of the bad element. He had a hard time accepting it when he would do all he could to bring a criminal to justice, only to have them get off on some technicality. As his wife, I knew that he would appreciate the fact that the men responsible for this attrocity would have to pay for their crime.
He loved his country and was very patriotic. The poem on this page desribes very well how he felt about the job he had to do. He knew that he had to walk through hell, so that other people wouldn't have to. In the end, he paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country.
Thank you to all who have been so supportive of my family and all the others left behind by this tragedy. Your support has been deeply appreciated by us all these years.
I would hope that others who have to go through the loss of a loved one would have the same loving support that we have received. God Bless You All.
Very Sincerely, Cammy Broxterman Maughan
