It is amazing to see how honored and respected you are. I wish I had the honor of knowing you even a little bit. You died when my father, your son, was just 2 years old. I hear stories of you from my grandmother. Wish I could know the walker side of things. I'm just happy you, my dad, and great grandfather are all together now. The walker men.

I was on duty the night they brought them to the sheriffs office. They were not even handcuffed.they were left to walk by the self’s to the office. Several officers were across the street waiting should the run the cowards meekly followed.

I am the niece of Deputy Sheriff Vincent Walker. First, thank you all for the wonderful words. Even though it's been many years and that I was only two at the time, an emptiness is still felt. My sisters and I never got the chance to really know him. We have had to rely on stories from others. A life was taken too early and so cruelly. Jerry's only sibling, my dad, just recently passed so at least they are reunited. We are currently, again, in the process of trying to keep his offender in prison. An injustice was done several years ago when the state released the other offender responsible for killing another brave and respected officer, my Uncle's partner, Rodriguez. I wish we could go back and correct that error but all we can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again. With all that said I just really wanted to say thank you all, God Bless you and all of law enforcement.

I was a Cadet at Peacock Military Academy with Jerry who graduated a year ahead of me in 1968. He was my good friend, a bright, intelligent and wonderful guy. I fondly remember evenings spent with Jerry, his brother Steve and his father, Doctor Walker, who was a great physician and fine man. I have visited the graves of both Doctor Walker and Jerry, and it is a very sad thing to know they are no longer with us. I will never forget either of them and the examples they set for the rest of us.

"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.
