On the 200th anniversary of Boatman Drake's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Boatman Drake is not forgotten.

In the midnights cold dew
Thoughts bring me back to you
For I have fallen to the smugglers blade
It is my time as life begins to fade.

I walk in a your shadow of gold and blue
I tried my best did all I could do
The salt on my tongue
Memories of your shield when I was so young

Lay me down with pipes calling me home
When you find me pale face all alone
Place the Ensign over my chest
Hold back you tears I have done my best

Tell my son to carry the light I shined
It was in our blood blue and gold enshrined
Remember me with my fathers shield
To righteous we both have kneeled

What has life been but complete for me
For I have faced evil in the land air and sea
Wore my fathers shield and carried his burden
Chased the smuggler I have imprisoned

Sweat and blood for I gave it my all
Now all alone my time I am called
For I have faced the evils we fight
It is the end of my watch tonight
