I recently retired from the NYC Police Department and have been dedicating a lot of my time to family research, My Maternal Grandfathers family is also from Aguadilla and In my research have discovered we were indeed distant cousins. Your sacrifice will always be remembered by my family. Gob bless!
A Policeman's Prayer
Dear Lord, be with me on my beat
this day and every day.
Grant that each weary block I walk,
may ease a brothers way.
Let me be kindly to the old
and to the young, be strong~
But let me triumph over those
whose acts are cruel and wrong.
And if according to your plan,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.
