Sir, I remain indignant that the coward who murdered you is buried in a National Cemetery in Sitka AK, next door to the Trooper Academy! That is an absolute affront to all AK officers and to US military veterans.

I am going to ask our Congressional reps to see if some law can be passed to correct this injustice.

Thank you for your brave service to the USMC and to the State of AK. RIP Sir and Semper Fi!

Troy and I were working in Warrants in Fairbanks and he and I had just finished looking for someone when the call out came. I was driving and Troy asked to be dropped off at Detachment HQ. I dropped him off and that was the last time I saw him. Of the troopers who worked warrants during that time frame with Troy, I was the only one who made it to retirement. One trooper quit shortly after and another quit several years later. May God bless Trooper Duncan and his family,

Devil Dawg:

How ironic that while sitting here at Southeast, talking with several cops from various L.A. County agencies all Marines), I should come across Your memorial.

May Your Soul Rest - In - Peace.

"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.

Capt. Duncan USMC was our Staff Platoon Commander at The Basic School in Quantico, VA and was both respected and well-liked by all his Marines. He's often thought about, and we miss his positive nature and inspiring example. He set the highest standard, and has both our prayers and gratitude. You'll never be forgotten, and Semper Fi.

Almost 21 years later, I still remember "Trooper Troy". He was my friend and he will always be missed and be in my heart. He was kind and caring and loved his job. God bless him.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....

I was dispatching when Trooper Troy Duncan was shot and killed and it will be remembered as one of the most moments of my life. I was devestated and shocked how he could be so full of life just hours before; when he walked into dispatch and smiled and told me hello and we chatted for a few minutes, and then....gone. Troy was such a sweet, caring person and I really enjoyed working with him. He was not afraid of life, and lived it to the fullest. I can still hear his voice with that accent and miss him to this day.
I treasure the time that we worked together and know that I am richer for having known him.
