Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Brown,
On today, the 40th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC in Vietnam fighting the NVA and VC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Angelo- We were in the academy together,January 1983-Company 83-15. You shared many words of wisdom with us younger officers. There was always a smile on your face and a very calm demeanor. I vividly remember the story you told me about ambushing a heard of goats when you were in Vietnam. You said how scared you were when you thought the enemy was coming and got ready for battle only to get charged by goats. I still remember you laughing trying to tell the end of the story. I will never forget you and have thought of you much over the last 35 years. Rest in Peace- you will always be in my heart.

Proudly mailed my NO PAROLE LETTER today. To the family, Friends And colleagues of Officer Brown: I am so very sorry for your loss. It’s unfair that with each new parole board hearing you have to relive your pain. To Officer Brown: Thank You for your service to our country, and your sacrifice for your community. You are not forgotten. God Bless You All!

He was one of the most gregarious and thoughtful people that I have ever known. We were best friends since the 3rd grade and he brightened the world to everyone who knew him. I miss him dearly every day and he will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace.

"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.
