"Broken Blue Line"



We didnt know you, but we feel the loss
The ultimate price, you paid the cost
Once again our blue line is broken
Words of condolence will soon be spoken


We feel the distrubance in the line
Praying its for the last time
That an Officers life is taken away
Dear God, no more, please not today


The spouse and children left to live alone
Knowing daddy will never come home
Mothers and Fathers feeling their grief
All of us questioning our own belief


No more families torn apart in pain
No more Officers should die in vain
For a public to seems too quick to forget
You did your job, without regret


Brothers and Sisters, we make a stand
To be a family hand in hand
And you, young warrior, now is your time
To take our hands, and join our Thin Blue Line

John, My Friend, #403,

I can't believe this has happened. You were such a warm, caring, and loving person. You gave so much and never asked for anything. You were a wonderful Police Officer and I enjoyed working with you. Anytime anyone called and needed help you were always there, You never complained, you did the best you could at whatever task you were given. You were a wonderful father to your kids and the best friend a person could ask for, I am gonna miss you, miss working with you, and especially miss talking to you. You paid the ultimate price. You will never be forgotton.

I Love You and will miss you,
DANA, #4113

His wife and children are in our hearts and prayers. Forever they will be embraced by those who dedicate and sacrifice for a living.

The policeman 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, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
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 streets are 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 tears.
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 policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."
