Reflections for Police Officer Henry Thomas Rosamond

Henry Thomas Rosamond was my great Grandfather. After I became a police officer, my Grandmother (daughter of H.T. Rosamond) told me about my great Grandfather. I later found out that I was named after him, with the middle name Thomas.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
GOD Bless

Thomas Henry Rosamond was my Great Grandfather who I had never met. I became a police officer unaware of him until my grandmother told me her father Thomas Henry Rosamond was a police officer who had died in the line of duty. Now, I think about him everytime I put my uniform on.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 81rst anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace

ITS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY...

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 by...
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.

Officer Rosamond was my grandfather. I never had the privilige to meet him, but he has been a positive influence in my life and was an example of what a man should be. He was a much loved motorcycle officer in La Grange, GA for many years before taking the job in East Point to better support his family. Many older citizens have remembered him to me as a courageous and fair law enforcement officer, as well as a true gentleman. He loved his family and his profession. It is touching to see him listed on the ODMP and on behalf of our family, I want to thank you for this honor.
