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 brother...

You choose a profession that, it is your duty and honor to run into the same places everybody else is fleeing from. Some people are just born a HERO. A lady says something is up with a guy, you check it out. Is it a local DIP? Is it going to be a TDO? Is it criminal? Is it a false call? The list is endless. I will not ever forget your sacrafice nor your honor! You are a HERO! THANK YOU brother in blue! We have the watch now. Rest in peace!

You never get repect like you deserve and I know how hard it is to be on on duty when this type of thing happens. Just remember Officer S C Reaves was a true HERO,and he will never be forgotten.
