Reflections for Police Officer Michael Keith Buckner

One year has passed and the broken hearts left behind think of you every day and will for the rest of the time they walk this earth. You have not been forgotten nor will you ever be forgotten. Keep watch over your loved ones and protect them from harm. You are a true hero.

Bob Gordon, father of fallen officer Michael P. Gordon, EOW: 8/8/04

To the family and friends of Officer Buckner and his fellow officers in the Dechard Police Department: I wanted to extend my deepest condolences on behalf of my family for the grievous loss you sustained when Oficer Buckner was tragically killed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted and embraced by the circle of love and support you will receive from the law enforcement community, and other police survivors. This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Michael gave to his community and the citizens of Tennessee, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made in the line of duty. His dedication to his work will be forever remembered and his memory honored. How tragic he had to die at such a young age.

If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go, Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always, Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own, And in time when men decide and feel safe to call the streets insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. We will see you in Elysium…

To the Family, Friends, and Co-Workers in your grief and your sorrow words can not change reality. Words can only provide a link between we whose hurt is less direct, and you whose hurt is personal and horrendous. Words can help assure you that others care, that you are loved, that you are not alone...God speed Officer Buckner.

To the family, friends and co-workers you are in my prayers. The one thing that I thought about during our nightmare was, how much Clint loved being a police officer. The last time I saw him he told me that he had his perfect job. Officer Buckner I bet you felt that same way, you are a true hero.
Your family will miss you everyday, but we will never forget you.

Look Clint up for me, tell him I miss him.

Heroes get up each day,
to dress in blue;
they patrol our streets,
watching our cities,
keeping us safe each day.

Making a difference,
we often over look.

How many have we forgotten?

How many are gone,
Lost in the line of duty?

We wait 'til it's too late;
to acknowledge all they've done,
to give them our respect.

The least we can do,
Is give them their due,
Before we lose another,
Hero dressed in blue
Performing the job he loved to do
Another fallen brother in blue

my deepest sympathies go out to Ofc. buckner Family, friends, and fellow co-workers, thanks for all the great work that u did and know that u will never be forgotten for all that u did risky your life day to day for people u didn't even know. Another lost in the line of duty.

R.I.P Officer buckner and God Bless as you are finally 10-7.

I HAVE A HERO....

I have a Hero,
This person is one who gets dressed for work each day just like everyone else
I have a Hero,
Who kisses their spouse and children before they leave for work not knowing if they will return at the end of the day to hold them once again
I have a Hero,
Who must confort the scared, console the troubled, and protect even the gulity
I have a Hero,
Who arrives to a situation where a child has been killed and must remember that the suspect has "rights"
I have a Hero,
That puts on a uniform each day with a vow to Serve and Protect
I have a Hero,
Who was killed in the Line of Duty today, and with him a part of America died
I have a Hero,
Who goes by the name of Police Officer....

May God Bless all of Our Fallen Brothers and Sisters in Blue. While we honor the lives of those no longer with us.
