“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

On behalf of my family, I wish to extend our sympathy and prayers to the family of Officer Isaac Veal and to the Honolulu Police Dept. I wish that there was some magical words to heal the pain that you are feeling now. I know that God will see you through.

My brother was part of this department for 7 years before moving on. I appreciated seeing HPD at my brother's funeral,HPD was good to Pat.

As a wife of a Law Enforcement oficer, it is my nightly prayer that all our LEO's stay safe.

I wish to express my deepest symapthy to the Veal Family and the officers and staff of the Honolulu Police Department over the tragic loss of Officer Isaac Veal. Once again another brother officer has been taken from the thin blue line. May God bless the Veal Family and the officers & staff of the Honolulu Police Department during this very sad time. May our brother Issac rest in peace. Issac will now patrol the streets of Heaven with St. Michael and his angels. Never forget the fallen hero!
