This is sooo sad. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and so we thank the Lord for your life and for using your gift to serve others. May God continue
to heal the hearts of all who loved you. Your EOW was 6 years ago and time
has not diminished your sacrifice.

"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.

One of Oklahoma’s Finest Angels


Trooper Van Krevelen,
It will have been 5 years tomorrow
When you had your last 10-08

The last time
You got to see your family
The ones who loved you

You served the citizens
Of Oklahoma well
And did your job

You were
One of Oklahoma's finest
A state trooper

And you truly still are
One of Oklahoma's finest
An angel trooper

Tears will fall
Smiles will shine
For you Sir

You didn't deserve to fall
But god called
For you

Trooper Van Krevelen
Oklahoma's finest
Thank you sir

Thank you for your bravery, dedication, and sacrifice. Even though almost five years have passed since your tragic and untimely death, I know the pain is still fresh with your friends and family. I hope all of you take comfort in knowing that Trooper Christopher Michael Van Krevelen will NEVER be forgotten and will FOREVER be a hero!

To the family of Trooper Van Krevelen,

Even though I have not met you or Trooper Van Krevelen I pray for you and pray that you will have the strength to go on for years knowing that he was serving Oklahomans and keeping them safe. No one in my family is a fallen officer but I know what it is like to lose some one you love. I lost my mom 14 years ago in Sept. I never really knew her do to I was very young but I still have memories that have and I hope never leave. I pray it will be the same with Trooper Van Krevelen just know you are not going through this alone.
