Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Andy,
I still remember that school in Austin, and suiting up with you.That was a good time. And even though years have passed,I still think about you. Everytime I hit the road,I know you are with me. Rest easy Andy. Your brothers have the watch,and I know you're backing me up. Couldn't ask for a better partner.

Hey bro, just down here in Austin for a conference this week. As I drove down yesterday (Monday), I passed the school where your service was held... I can't believe it's been [over] four years, now. Will probably try to find that cemetery again when I head back on Saturday or Sunday, and drop in to say "Hi"...

It seems like just yesterday we were in the academy laughing at each other. I miss you brother. I use our friendship as an example to all the new Officers in field training. Every new Officer I train has heard your story and hopefully will keep them vigilant during there time as Police Officers. I say a prayer and talk to you before I hit the road every night. We will have a moment of silence in your honor tonight when I start briefing for our shift. Continue to watch over us and rest in peace.

God bless you and all who mourn you. May God give them the strength to carry on. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you Deputy Taylor and all of your family for your commitment to the safety of our country and her citizens. When my nephew ended your life on Earth, your loss was felt by all. I left our enemies abroad every time I came back home, you faced potential enemies at every traffic stop. Always on the job, you kept this country safer for my wife and kids while I was abroad. You never got to leave the enemy behind. Thank you for the blessing of safety that you and all your brother officers provide.

Andy,
I miss you so much and pray that Amber and Hunter are doing good. The loss of you has hit me so hard. You were the best friend that anyone could ever ask for. There are so many things that I didnt get to say before you were taken. The one thing i want you to know is that I am sorry I didnt take your advice in the last few months you were alive I know that you were always right when you told me i was being stupid and I should have listened. My life would have been so much better than it is now. It kills me to know that you were upset with me when you died. I love you and wish your family the best.

Andy,
It's been three years now and it still hasn't gotten any easier missing you and wanting you here with us. I miss you so much still and can't believe it's been this long you've been gone. I love you so much Andy and always will. I still ask God why you had to leave me, I don't understand, we were so happy in love and everything was just perfect. The rest of my life will never be the same without you here with me. I know you are here spiritually, I can feel that but I want to touch you and hold you and never let you go.
I love you forever and always, more than anything!!!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
