Reflections for Police Officer Maurice Leahy, Jr.

 

I somehow missed the 90th anniversary of the date of your murder. Officer Leahy, 90 years ago you gave your life, but with a determination and grit that said to those who took it, "No, I'm not going alone!" You are a hero and the respect I have for you is immense.

Rest in Peace FOREVER, Brother, I already believe God has Blessed you.

A rosary has been said in your honor, you are not forgotten.

Officer Leahy,
On today, the 87th anniversary of your death, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice not just as a police officer but also for your service to our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during WW I.

R.I.P.

Officer Leahy, we share a last name but I wonder if I could ever measure up to your heroics. Thanks to your efforts and determination, both of the slugs you encountered that day were brought to justice, one at your hands.

My Dad spent about 10 years working for the New York Central Railroad five of which were with the Police Department prior to moving on to my hometown's PD. His years with the RR were some of his happiest. It takes special people to be Railroad cops, and I can think of two Leahy's that fit that bill.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

You are truly an example of never giving up and your sacrifice will not be forgotten. Rest in peace.

We will not let you be forgotten. Rest in peace, my brother.
