Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It is sad when just yesterday I was here writing about officer Zeppetella... now I find my self... here writing about another fallen hero Sgt Michael Johnson whose passion was Law Enforcement. He could've been home with his wife and sons having a cook out in the back yard or off at a near-by lake but instead he opted to patrol Vermont highways in an effort to make them a little bit safer for you and me. His life was sacrificed for us... to protect us, he wanted to end a pursuit before it took innocent lives. It is ashamed that this has happened once more in our beautiful country called America. When the days come that people run with weapons in the streets and take the lives of those Serving and Protecting... I don't know what else can go wrong.

This proves that no matter your position in a dangerous environment, you are in jeopardy. I pray that he will be apprehended, and I know he will. GodSpeed.

God Bless you brother.

May God Bless and be with the family of Sgt. Johnson. It is so sad what this hero has had to leave behind on fathers day. His memory will always be there with his wife and children to ask why did this happen. Sgt. Johnson is on HEAVENS streets patroling a beat for JESUS now to watch over the rest of us while we carry on what he stood for. Thanks SGT.
GOD SPEED. NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.
