I didn't know him but I am a criminal justice major, and my guest speaker showed us this video. An honorable man, and it is a deep sympathy that I feel towards his family. Rest in peace, and thank you for your service and protection

This evening at the Annual Contributor Dinner for The 100 Club of Comal County (Texas), the speaker was Mrs. Vetter, Randy's widow. She was insperational on what she and her family have endured since Trooper Vetter was killed and how the law enforcement community has continued to support her emotionally. Randy's father and son were also in attendance. Trooper Vetter is a household name here in Comal County and remembered as a hero.

Eleven years have passed since I first saw the horrific video of Trooper Vetter's assassination. I was going through my officer survival stuff and came across it again.

They say that time heals all wounds, but those who have lived through such an incident know better. The wounds may heal but the scars never go away.

My deepest sympathies to Trooper Vetter's immediate and extended family. You are all in my prayers.

I attended the DPS Academy with Vetter. I considered him a great friend. He was known as the quiet giant in the Academy. He was always polite, quiet, and would help anyone with anything. I think of him always, especially those moments on the side of the road when all is calm. Please be with me Vetter and please be my guardian angel. God bless your family.

I look at this site once or twice a year and I am always touched by what people have written. One of my greatest fears is that Randy will be forgotten. Thank you for keeping all of us in your thoughts and prayers. Randy did not die in vain; I know he watches over each of us.

Sir,

I am sorry I only know you from the tragic DPS video I watched of the shooting that ended your life. From reading the other reflections I could tell you were a fine upstanding officer and are dearly missed.

Perhaps the very best possible outcome is that others will watch the DPS video and be alerted to the very real dangers out there and save some lives.

Bless you. I wish only the best to those you loved and who still love you.
