As a native of the Delaware Valley, the Philadelphia Police Dept has always been dear to my heart. My brother lives around the corner from where Daniel McCann was killed. There is a small memorial on the sidewalk. I have visited that spot and stood silently in awe. You will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace.

Lt. McCann,

My Dad was a detective who worked for you. He told me the story of your sacrifice, as well as the sacrifice of your family. He was one of the officers present when your family was notified of your death in the line of duty. I was only three at the time but remember Dan, Jr. coming to stay with us.

My Dad, who has since past away, told me your story many years later. It was one of the few times I can ever remember him with tears in his eyes.

I found your name on the wall of the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C., along with the names of other officers I have worked with through the years. I pray that you and your family know that your sacrifices will never be forgotten. God Bless you and your family.

A POLICEMAN'S PRAYER
BROTHER WHEN YOU WEEP FOR ME REMEMBER THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
LAY ME DOWN AND WHEN YOU LEAVE REMEMBER I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE...IN EVERY DARK AND DREARY ALLEY I'LL BE THERE AS YOU SLOWLY TREAD, ON EVERY STREET CORNER IN THE DRIVING SNOW I'LL HOLD YOUR COAT AND YOU WILL KNOW.
IN PLACES WHERE THE DEVIL IS AFRAID TO WALK...
AT DOORS WHERE YOU MEET RESISTANCE...
IN HOUSES WHERE CHILDREN HIDE...
YOU KNOW I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE.
THE PLACE FROM WHICH I NOW RESPOND IS OVERSTAFFED WITH HEROES GONE...MEN WHO ANSWERED ONE LAST JOB AND DID IT WELL.
AS POLICEMEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A CARD DEALT IN OUR HAND...A CARD WE HOPE WE NEVER PLAY BUT WE HOLD IT THERE ANYWAY.
THE CARD IS SOMETHING WE IGNORE AS WE STAND ON THAT THIN BLUE LINE EVERY TOUR...FOR WE KNOW THAT WE ARE THE ONLY PRAYER FOR MANY OUT THERE.
SO REMEMBER, AS YOU WIPE YOUR TEARS, THE JOY I HAVE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...AS THE JOB I LOVED TO DO I PRAY THAT THIS THOUGHT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

Lieutenant, you will never be forgotten. Although, I never knew you, I had the opportunity to know and work with your daughter before coming on the job. She is an absolutely wonderful person. She would talk of you when she found out I was in the process of getting hired with Philly. I saw her today for the first time in almost 11 years. We talked about your memorial dedication where you gave your life. I could see in her eyes that you are greatly missed. Please watch over her and her family.....and us. Thanks Lt.
