Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.

You were called into this profession and our Lord and Savior has blessed you because:
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because it is honored by God.

You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for your fellow man, while serving, defending, and protecting others in your community.

To the family of Trooper Nikky J. Green and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, your extended family of Law Enforcement Officers grieves with you during this time. I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around each of you and comfort you during this most difficult time.

To all my brothers and sisters, please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in. Please pray for this officer's family and friends as they struggle with this tragedy.
May God be with you every day, please remember, we are a part of the largest family in the world and when one hurts we all hurt.

Though our badges and uniforms may be different, our mission is the same. Rest in peace with our other fallen Brothers and Sisters. We will continue the fight in your honor.

Trooper Green you will not be forgotten. To the family and fellow brothers and sisters in blue of Trooper Green, know that he is patrolling the skies above us watching down on all of us. May the strength of the shield pick the family up and help them through the rest of their lives.

I was visiting home with my family Christmas in the area Trooper Green was patrolling, when this happened. He could
have possibly have stopped someone who would have harmed me or my family. RIP and I wish he and his family the best.

I can not begin to display my remorse for Trooper Greens family. I have only the thought of what if. What if my husband never made it home? Mrs. Green you have my sympathy. If ever there is anything that I can ever do, Please know that I will be there. My prayers will always include you and your extended family. May God bless you and heal you with his Love and understanding.

While I was away enjoying Christmas you were defending us so we could enjoy the Holidays in Peace. You gave your life for us and we will never forget. We will find the one who did this to our OHP family and your personal family. God will finish what that killer started. Rest in Peace my Brother.

It is always such a sad day when someone gives the ultimate sacrifice, but what makes this so senseless is that it happened right at Christmas time. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and with the rest of OHP. I pray that the coward who did this act is caught and brought to swift justice to the fullest extent of the law. God Bless.

YOU DON'T REMENBER ME DO YOU

I WAS THE ONE WHO UNLOCKED YOUR CAR AFTER YOU ACCIDENTLY LOCKED THE KEYS AND YOUR BABY UP AT THE MALL

I WAS THE ONE WHO GAVE YOU A RIDE TO THE GAS STATION WHEN YOU RAN OUT OF GAS ON THAT BACK ROAD

I WAS THE ONE WHO FOUND THE ITEM THAT IDENTIFIED THE GUY WHO RAPED YOUR DAUGHTER

I WAS THE ONE WHO SPENT MY DAYS OFF IN COURT TO TESTIFY AND HELP CONVICT THE MAN WHO BEAT YOUR SON SO BADLY

I WAS THE ONE WHO HELD YOUR, WIPED THE BLOOD OUT OF YOUR EYES, AND CALMED YOU DOWN WHILE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CUT YOU OUT OF WHAT WAS LEFT OF YOUR CAR

I WAS THE ONE WHO DID CPR ON YOUR 3-YEAR OLD AFTER YOU FOUND HIM IN THE POOL

I WAS THE ONE WHO GOT THE SNAKE OUT OF YOUR BATHROOM AROUND MIDNIGHT

I WAS THE ONE WHO ESCORTED YOUR SON'S FUNERAL PROCESSION FROM THE CHURCH TO THE CEMENTERY AND CRIED BEHIND MY SUNGLASSES BECAUSE HE WAS MY FRIEND TOO

I WAS THE ONE WHO WATCHED OVER YOUR HOUSE WHILE YOU WERE ON VACATION

I WAS THE ONE WHO GOT SHOT WHEN I PULLED OVER A CAR FOR A TRAFFIC VIOLATION AND THE DRIVER TURNED OUT TO BE AN ESCAPED CONVICT WHO HAD SWORN HE WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO PRISON

OH, BY THE WAY, MY MEMORIAL SERVICE IS AT 1 P. M.

WILL YOU REMEMBER ME NOW?

Brother I remember when I was a rookie over in Frederick, OK before I got called back to active duty. I remember you and I sitting down to lunch and talking about policing. That seems like it was just yesterday. I rember backing up M198 on many of 10-75's. Our you backing me up. Brother you go on and rest we will handle eveything from here on. I will never forget. I remember. Rest In Peace G198.

Nikky, you were like our son and we will always cherish the days that you spent with us while attending college in Altus. You were part of the greatest family that has ever been, the men and women of the OHP/DPS family. Linda and the girls will be well taken care of until you are reunited with them again. To all Nikky's family of kin and those wearing those brown shirts, remember this was no accident. God has had this appointment since the beginning of time. Don't loose faith, God is still in control and He takes care of His children. So long, little buddy, until we meet again. Jerry Don & Donna Henry

To Nik's family

I went to high school with Nik, and was devastated when I heard that Nik had been shot. I know your hearts are weeping right now. I lift up my prayers and heartfelt sympathy to Nik's wife and children and to the rest of his close family and friends.

Rest in peace, you served us well. God bless his wife and children, I wish there was something I could do so that you didn't have this tremendous loss. Trooper Green is a hero and he will never be forgotten. I'm grateful for his sacrifice.

The war on drugs is not over, contrary to what some believe, and it never will be because we will always have heroes like Trooper Green fighting it. It is dispicable what "people" do for drugs and thank God we have our police.

What kind of unearthly scum can do such stuff as this? Well, sadly enough, we see this all too often. We do all we can, but sometimes it just isn't enough, and that's where the rest of our brothers and sisters come in. Godspeed Trooper Green, and know your family will be well taken care of!

To the family, friends and fellow officers of Trooper Green we share in the tremendous saddness of losing one of our own. We cannot begin to comprehend the tough days that now lay ahead for you but we wanted you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Trooper Green gave his life in the service to his country and community in the war on drugs, the longest conflict our country has ever been involved. Trooper green is a hero and leaves us an example of courage that we can only hope to one day aspire.

"Final Inspection"
The Marine stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Marine.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The Marine squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry weapons
can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tear,
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Marine,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."


Gods speed brother, Rest in peace, and may God bless your family, friends and comrades.

Nikky,
My heart is breaking for your half, your children, your parents, your partners, and your littermates. Right now we don't understand why God needs you with him instead of with us, but I know He has a plan. I hoped and prayed that Matt would be the last OHP Trooper to be taken, but then Chris was killed. Now, you have been taken too. I will do my best to help your half. I know how lonely and frightening this time is, and I know the pain she is going through. Please watch over us. We always need our angels in brown shirts.
