I even saw officer freeto several times on ride outs with officers, ALL OFFICERS I APPRECIATE WHAT YALL DO FOR US ! you may not hear it alot but its true, we could not live without officers, firefighters and of course the medstar. Thx for your sacrifices, sometimes even life....... anonymous

Officer Freeto served proudly and was deeply loved and respected by those who knew him. It is a tragedy to lose him. We never know when our lives on this earth will end, but we can make a reservation in Heaven now and assure us a place when God calls us to Himself. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6) and He PAID the price for our sins on the Cross so we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins. Yipee! If we accept His payment by faith we can have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. It is not something we must earn, it is a gift. The most precious one we can ever receive. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith_and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God_not by good deeds, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2: 8,9. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. And our faith must be in God's only Son, Jesus Christ.
You were a credit to the uniform, Officer Freeto. My heart goes out to your
loved ones left behind and may the Lord comfort them as only He can.

I last saw Dwayne Freeto sometime in the early morning hours of December 16th and I will never forget the last time I saw him. We were at the jail and he had brought in a PI. I teased him that everytime I saw him he ALWAYS had a PI and I ask him if that was all there was in Ida district, to which he responded "Pretty much."
We each went about our business and when I left, our goodbye wasn't much more that "See ya later." I wish I had hugged him that night. It still hurts that I didn't. I had done so many times in the past, but for some reason that night, I didn't. People that know me well know that I'm a touchy-feely person and to-wit, I'm a "hugger." I make a point now to hug my classmates, EVERYTIME I see them. It may sound stupid, but when I do, it makes me feel better about not hugging Dwayne that cold December morning. When I see my classmates, my friends, my first thought is of him. I see him in the face of every member of 113.
I vowed the morning of December 17th 2006 to never drink again, and although I hadn't been a big drinker in the first place, that vow not to drink has really been a big deal. Anytime anyone offers me a drink, and I tell them "I don't drink" They always ask "why?" They probably regret asking why, because I make them sad, when I tell them what a wonderful man the world lost, what a wonderful police officer the City of Fort Worth lost, what a wonderful husband Karen lost, what a wonderful father Jordin and Jenna lost, what a wonderful son and brother Carl, Linda and Chuck lost, and what a wonderful friend I lost.
I admit, it has gotten easier to deal with this horrific tragedy, but I WILL NEVER FORGET. JMA

It has been alittle over a year and I still want to come up to Grandview, Tx to see you Dwayne. I miss you so much. You were the best son-in-law anyone can ask for. And since I had no sons you were like a son to me. I think about you everytime I see a police officer and everytime I see my grandchildren. I know you are watching down on my daughter and your girls. I love and miss you so much but you are not and never will be forgotten. Ruth Pirelo

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
