Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I had the recent privilege of attending the viewing service of fallen Police Chief Paul Muellers wife Myrrah in Prairie Grove AR. Over the years I have witnessed her deep Love and conviction for her Faith, Family, Police, Military, and Country. Go be with your husband and rest high on that mountain.

God Saw You Getting Tired

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put His arms around you
And whispered “Come to me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you
As you slowly slipped away
And though we loved you dearly
We couldn’t make you stay.

Your golden heart stopped beating
Your tired hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best

Memorial Day 2019,
Fallen Hero's represent the character of a nation who has a long history of Patriotism and Honor- and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our Country free from threats of terror. Let us not forget all the men and women in uniform sworn to protect this great nation. God Bless the USA!

Each day is an adventure, your life is on the line protecting and defending, a hero by design. You face the threat of danger, but your faith gives you the nerve; you keep your eyes on God and an open heart to serve. The world's a better place because of what you do, and all because of people like you. RIP, Paul Mueller

I attended the Medal of Honor presentation for Fallen West Fork Police Chief Paul Mueller today at the University of Arkansas. It was very heart warming to see the widow of fallen Police Chief Paul Mueller receive her husbands Medal of Honor 34 + years after his death. I appreciate Captain Matt Mills & Officer Sid Ramirez with the University Police Department and the good job they did during the presentation. Thank you to all the attended and to those who were their in spirit.

The Paul Mueller Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #37 is situated at the University of Arkansas Police Department. Every year FOP members of our agency conduct "Cop's and Kids" with non-traditional student’s families. All of the families and especially the children are always very grateful for what we are able to provide for them every year. This program would not be possible without the commitment by The Willard and Pat Walker Charitable Foundation.

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.

A hero is somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tries to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really deeply cares.


Rest in Peace Chief Paul Mueller

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.

If Tears Could Build A Stairway


If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within or hearts
Is where you'll stay

May you sleep in the arms of the father.
May you wake to the face of the son.
May your precint be the jurisdiction of heaven.
Until we meet when our work here is done.
Rest easy my brother, I have the watch tonight.

Paul was a dedicated cop and I had the priviledge of working with him on many occasions. Please be comforted by knowing that a West Fork native, and fellow member of FPD who I also had the pleasure of working with, killed the loser who took Paul from us. He, too, suffered multiple gunshot wounds. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
