Reflections for Police Officer Cecil Frank Sledge

I will never forget the night that my "Uncle Frank" was killed in the line of duty- it is still one of saddest memories.

Frank Sledge was a partner as well as a friend to my father in the 69th. I will never forget you and I know my father has never forgotten either.

May you rest in peace.

Each day I try to read the ODMP. Today I read your story. Any officer who dies in the line of duty will always be remembered for his sacrifice. You died a hero. Rest in peace Officer Sledge.

I was in the US Army Reserves with Cecil. He was in the 99th Sig Bn. It was a 'blast' to work with him. He ran a tight ship as company Sgt. A great sense of humor. I think about him constantly and truly miss his funny stories. He died a terriable death. We'll meet again, I hope and share a beer and some of those laughs. You're not forgotten, my friend.

You did not die in vain. 23 years late you still survive through everyone who wears a badge. Rest easy and God bless your family.
