Officer Down Memorial Page

Dear Trooper Holcomb,
I am glad to have stumbled onto this site- now I see you are not forgotten. You are missed, you are loved, and I look forward to the day when we can rejoice together in His Kingdom.
What would you think of me now? I am all grown up. I got pulled over a few years ago and seeing that man in your uniform-wow, I cried so hard I could barely drive home. I remember your uniform hanging on mom's bedpost for months after you were gone. My memories of you are so few-but so very precious. I think of you as someone who was Real and full of Life. I love hearing stories about you.
A lot of people forget, it seems, that you have 2 daughters. I know you haven't. We may not wear a badge, but your girls have character and we have accomplished a lot. Melissa is so much like you, as real and full of life as I imagine you being. I know you would be proud of us girls: we love the Lord, we take care of our mother, we work hard and yes, even your daughters have learned to give a firm handshake. I love you, Daddy.
