Reflections for Patrol Officer Daniel Philip Longstreet

I love you Uncle Danny....I will never forget all those water fights we had when we were kids. You always made our summers we spent together fun and exciting. My children love hearing those childhood memories. I'm sure to tell my children about you all the chances I get. It would have been an honor for them to have met you. I love you and miss you always.

I had the pleasure of working alongside you and getting to know you as a friend, I was also unfortunate enough to be the first Officer on the scene that tragic day. We can never express our gratitude to you and your family for the sacrifice that you made in any countable measure, but know that Myself and the Citizens of Higginson will never forget your dedication to duty and the ultimate sacrifice that you and your family made that day. In your Honor we are proud to dedicate our new City Hall Building in your name. God Bless each and everyone of the surviving family members to this great man.

this is a pome that i wrote in memory of my daddy. who i will always love and miss. he will never be forgotten. in hornor of all the men and women of the police force thank you.

Men and Women of all differnt back grounds risk their lives everyday to protect.
Leaving their love ones at home not knowing the out come of each end of shift.
Seeing the world in a differnt light not always understanding how people can make some decision that they do
Taking the outh as police officer behind the badge to serve and protect and find justice for all
but the rewards out weigh the risk knowing that they helped someone makes the risk of dieing for worth it all.


my dad knew this. and took that risk and know is a hero in the eyes of many... God bless you all and thank you

I have read many touching and heartfelt reflections, but none has touched me more than your daughters reflections. As a father of two wonderful daughters myself, I can only hope I do as good of job raising them as you did yours.

God Bless and Rest in Peace knowing you have done your job well here on earth both professional and at home. Its obvious your daughters are proof of that.

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.

I never had the honor of knowing you, but can tell by the things written by your family that you were an honorable man on this earth. Yes, you were taken from your family and friends 10 years ago, but will spend eternity with them in heaven. I hope to meet you there someday. May God continue to bless your loving family.

Yes my dad's death was bad but please don't think of him gone for good. Cause I do promise you one thing, my dad is still here with each and everyone of us all to this day and always will. I wrote a poem for my dad and I wanted to put it on here for everyone else to read.
"I'm still daddy's girl"
*Dad, I remember the time, when I fell and
scraped my knee, you picked me up and gave it
a kiss, because daddy's little girl I used to be.
*Dad, I remember the time, when
I got baptisted and you was by my side,
because daddy's little girl I used to be.
*Dad, I remember all those good times, and
I hope you will agree, that no matter
how old I am, and how long it will be,
till I will be with you,
daddy's liilte girl I'll always be.
**** I love you daddy..

A decade has passed since you were called away and I know that those that love you have not forgotten you and have thought of you every day over the past 10 years and at times still shed silent tears in your memory. You are a true hero and heroes never die. I only hope that when the individual that caused all this pain was sentenced to life, that it is life and he will never get out of prison. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol. You will never be forgotten.
