First things First. To Agent Sentner's Family: You have an "old school MAN" here...he did life right...never doubt that. He proved the Honor of his Ancestors, and set and carried the standards for his descendants. In the BEST Nation in the History of the World, yet one that is DEEPLY in trouble NOW, due to greed, street drugs, corruption, godlessness, perversion, apathy; and on a day when a loyal Amercican SOLDIER was feeling like the LONE ranger....like the sole survivor of soul survivors....I find that I wasn't alone....that there was ONE who walked tall in parallel paths....And, because of this "Soldier"...and reading about his committment to Honor.....I cheered up, thinking, I bet there's more like him....Could that PIECE OF "AMERICAM STAINLESS STEEL" be YOU?
We need you....and We need you to eat PORK, BEEF, & WALNUTS, and go "CLONE" massively!
Take YOUR Nation back from the INVADERS! CLEAN the "open sewers" that used to be our STREETS. "FLUSH, The Toilet Bowl, that hasn't been flushed in 34-44 years"! FLUSH firmly and repeatedly....you are hereby GRANTED AN ONGOING RENEWABLE LICENSE TO DO SO. Every Nation needs at least ONE actual "DEA Agent" don't they....why NOT inside the USA? Why don't we get some actual, worKING DEA Agents? THAT would be GOOD AS GOLD!

Better make it to Heaven! Because you ALL know that BUDDY is there now. I think, while here, he was a probationary angel, working patrols with "Saint George". He missed some "snakes" but he eradicated some. "Next SWAT SHOOTER to the LINE!; and I mean MOVE IT!; NOW!!" "Supervening Authority" means CLEAN from the TOP all the way DOWN to the basement, then on down to the "GULAG S.H.U. Program".......YOU want to do it, or must U.S. ARMY COMBAT VETERANS do it? ....VETERANS, that were bit by Snakes (at City, County, State level) JUST LIKE "Buddy" shot, for US. "GOD BLESS YOU, BUDDY!" Do YOU have a "BAND OF BROTHERS"?

We all miss you Buddy, you were a good agent and a nice friend. We were expecting you to arrive at our office the day you were taken from us. Your loss has crossed the continent and now there is an empty space--- May God bless your new wife of only a few months, your father and all the family you left behind.

Your friend,

Tribute to a Fallen Companion

Buddy, I never met you, but I wish I had.
We had conversations too many to count and, in this way, I did get to know you.

We wrapped up that case in San Diego and lamented the fact that while we knew who "dun it," we could never prove it.
You turned over every stone to get to the truth, to get it right...I sensed your conviction and your passion.

Once in a while, I'd hear about you and ask, "How's Buddy doing?"
But there was no urgency to this friendship...I knew I would run into you at a Conference, at FLETC, for some polygraph...somewhere...eventually.

I heard about you in Paris--a strange place to receive such dreadful news. Suddenly, the color drained from the city...I realized that I would never get the chance to meet you and wandered aimlessly in search of a meaning that I could not find.

Buddy, if I could, I would like to make this promise to you.
I will take nothing for granted; I will try to make every day count.
And I will hope that from your example, I will have the strength to do the right thing and not flinch in the face of danger.

Buddy, Good bye...and God bless.

You served your country, you are being served in heaven. Thank you for your heroism and your courage. It is by God's good grace that others have not shared your fate. It is now by God's good grace that you will watch over all of us who stand a watch and protect the liberties for which you gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Questions?


Why do you put that thing over your heart
Before each tour of duty, you do start?


Why do you work so much
And miss my parties and such?


When I go to bed at night, most of the time you away

I hope you will be home soon, and this time you must
stay!


Why are the bad guys the ones that you chase
Is it to make our world a much safer place?


What is the title of your job, is it Agent, Sheriff
or Cop?
If it is any of these law enforcement people, please
don't stop!


There is only one reason for us to feel safe,
Knowing that people like you are in place!

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice made to uphold the integrity of our system. You gave your life to intervene in corruption of those who should be upholding law. I respect you and will not forget you. May your dedication serve as an example to all, and stand as an example to those who would abuse their office or position. There are those who will not look the other way.

The "Good News" is that we know you are in heaven still watching over us. At some point in time, the facts will be revealed to all and the world will know what a great job you did that day when you faced evil in the most heroic way. Your performance of your duties not only saved lives but will be an eternal inspiration to us all. God bless you, Buddy, and the loving family you left behind.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Agent Sentner, especially to his wife. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Buddy, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Buddy's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Buddy's life was about so much more than the way he died. Buddy will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Agent Sentner, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been three years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

While it is no consolation for your loss, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and fellow officers of Special Agent Sentner.

While I did not have the privilege to have known him personally, I am certain that he has found a place in heaven through his selfless service to those he swore to protect.

Rest in peace my friend; those of us who remain will cover your post on the thin blue line.
