Officer Down Memorial Page

Patrolman Lee and Allen came to my house in 1968 because my spider bike (they were a big deal in the 60's) had been stolen. I was 8 years old and heart broken that it was gone! I remember through all my tears that they both promised to find my bike. A few days later they pulled up in that blue and white Plymouth Fury and opened the trunk and pulled out my bike! They were my heroes!! not too long after that I remember my mother crying at the breakfast table and later found out why. The two young patrolmen who found my bike were killed in a tragic auto accident. I am almost 52 now and still think of them to this day. I will never forget what they did for an brokenhearted 8 year old. May God bless them and watch over them.
