Officer Down Memorial Page

I remember well that night. TSGT Roberts was the Flight Commander on duty when the call came in of a domestic disturbance in base housing. The reason Sergeant Roberts responded was the complainant was the wife of another Security Policeman. He was talking to the man at the door of his housing unit when the wife appeared around the corner of the house, shouting. Sergeant Roberts turned and took several steps towards the wife, trying to calm things down, when he was shot 5 times in the back. Almost every Security Policeman on the base responded to the base hospital to give blood (I gave a pint) to no avail. He died later that morning at the base hospital. Isiah, you were one of the most decent NCO's I had the honor of serving with. Your memory will be with me for the rest of my life. Rest in peace, my friend.
