In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"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 whose 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.

A couwardly deed took the life of a hero. So senseless and needless. God Bless the family, friends and Department. You will not be forgotten, Detective Brown!

Lt. Brown, American Samoa is, from everything I've heard, a paradise. Paradise was tainted a bit by your murder and the crime was compounded by your inability to fully defend yourself. I hope the Territorial Government has learned a lesson from this and woken up to the realities of life, regardless of where you work.

My heart and prayers go out to all in American Samoa who knew and loved you. You are now walking the beat in a different paradise.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

This senseless loss that took Lieutenant Brown from his family and friends is so difficult to understand. His courage and bravery, wearing a badge and serving his community made him a hero. Please take comfort in knowing that he has stepped across the threshold of death into the loving arms of God. Rest in Peace, brother. The members of the Fraternal Order of Police of Florida offer our sincere sympathy and condolences.

For Detective Lieutenant Liusila Brown:

The duties of the law officer, no matter the rank or position, involve high risk. Especially when those around us act simply by high exitement or deep emotion. To strike out at a law officer who stands at his or her post, and who may not be fully aware of an actual threat, is a senseless act. Those who would commit such this crime come from the ranks of those without courage or who possess not even a speck of honor.

We regret that our sister Liusila would lose her life a victim of murder, but who now stands as a hero among heros. She has given her life in the name of law and justice.

We pray for Liusila's family, friends, co-workers and all who care about her. May they be ready to reach-out to one another during the days ahead.

I am proud to render Det. Lt. Liusila Brown a final salute.
