Today, Paul's wife went to join him. While I'm sad and sorry for the loss felt this day by the McCulloch family, I'm glad that Paul will have his wife at his side again. Godspeed to all of you, you're in our thoughts.

Officer McCulloch,
On today, the 42nd anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your community, but for our Country as well when you served during the Korean War.

Officer McCulloch, you were murdered by a creature not worth calling a man and YOU are the one honored on this site. His name has been forgotten by most as well it should be. I only hope he served his full term and continued his sentence 'further south'.

To Officer McCulloch's son, I know you have made your father proud. I also know he's with you every time you go to work. If you are still working or if you have retired, thank you for your service.

Officer Paul McCulloch, your name will forever be in our hearts as a hero. God Bless you and may you continue to Rest in Peace.

Paul,

Your sacrifice has not been forgotten by your brother and sister officers in St. Louis. Your picture hangs on our departments memorial wall with, sadly, too many other brave officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our community.

God bless you and keep you always.

To the family and friends of Officer Paul McCulloch and all my good friends at the St. Louis Police Department, you have my continued deepest sympathy for your loss.

Though this incident happened many years ago, the memory of it remains etched in my mind. I was a small boy at the time, sitting in my fathers police car when radio messages regarding Paul's shooting were broadcast
on the police radio. I still can remember how frightening this all sounded to me and the profound sence of sadness I observed in my fathers face as we continued to monitor the radio traffic for any hopeful information.

To this day the memory of these events brings sadness to me even though I followed Paul and my father, to work in law enforcement.

We should all feel some measure of comfort in the knowledge that Paul has been resting easy and that he has been in the company of many good men over the years - our other fallen brothers.

I am certain that they are all up there looking down after all of us and have often felt their presence during moments of danger in my career.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
