In July of 1995 my dad asked me to go with him to DC for the opening of the Korean Veteran's Memorial. He fought with the Marines in Korea during the war.
While we were there I told my dad I wanted to go to the the Law Enforcement Memorial and pay my respects to an old partner of mine that was killed in the line of duty.
While we were at the wall my dad wondered out loud if his father might be on the wall even though he was killed in The Panama Canal Zone.
He started at one end of the wall and I started at the other. A short time later I looked to see my dad on his knees crying. He had found his father on the wall. My grandfather. First time I had seen my dad cry.
We learned that the memorial did not have a picture of my grandfather for their website. We were happy to provide them with one.
Special day for my dad and me to find Arthur Smart at the Law Enforcement Memorial.

To my Granddad

We never had a chance to meet, but you will always have my love, respect, and admiration.

And I - have your name

Officer Smart, the Canal Zone is no more. What was once a major proud accomplishment of the United States is now controlled by the Panamanian government. Maybe this is a good thing.

What's bad about it is that fewer and few people realize just how much of a presence The US was in that area and how people like yourself made it work. You were a representative of our government and helped to keep the Canal Zone and it's people safe and secure. For your efforts, you are truly a hero. I find it heart breaking that not all who went to Panama in that noble cause came home. Thank you for your service.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

The Motorcycle Officer's Poem reads as follows:
It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.
Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble; they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes; you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.


God Speed Brother Motorman... Until we ride above....
