A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Kissimmee Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

When something like this happens, as it is too frequently these days, it affects more than just the man/woman and their family. It touches everyone who has ever shared a life of anyone in uniform. My prayers for these men and their families, personal as well as professional.
