Reflections for Police Officer Charles Bernoskie

Your sacrafice will never be forgotten in Rahway and to police officers everywhere.

I am proud to say that my Department never stopped working aggresively to solve this case. In my first weeks out of the academy Det White explained the details of the case and showed me the evidence. Bernoski is our hero and exemplified true bravery in his final moments. He is on my colleagues minds every time we respond to a burglary call. No rock should be left unturned when a scumbag kills a cop!

All these years later and Officer Bernoski's family is still trying to get the justice they so richly deserve.

Here, I stand again, as the casket of a fallen brother draped with the American flag makes its way past the tear filled eye's of the officer(s) & families left to deal with the pain of
life without a father, husband, friend, & brother.

I watch as a sea of car's, lights rotating/flashing in a show of unity for a friend who paid the ultimate sacrifice. I watch as civilians stand to the side of the road, praying & paying
respect as the procession passes.

I listen as officer(s) fire their weapons in a 21 gun salute, and watch as the family, and other officers jump, as this reminds them of the last sound heard by our fallen brother.

At last, as tears stream down the faces of the mourners at the grave, we watch as the officer(s) are laid to rest, and say our final farewells to him our brother

I reflect, and remember:
All gave some
And some gave all
Some stood through
For the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties
And recall
Some gave all. (unknown writer)
