Reflections for Police Officer Anthony Jon Holly

Our agency suffered a very similar loss back on 2/03/00, and to this day we haven't forgotten the courage and heroism of our fallen brother for sacrificing his life to protect a fellow officer. Ofc. Holly, you are also a true hero for giving your life under the same circumstances. Your community may never appreciate the magnitude of this loss, but I can assure you that your fellow officers will never get over it. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and your agency. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice, and please keep a watchful eye over your brothers and sisters in blue.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Holly and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Officer Holly has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family and friends of Officer Holly, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Holly is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

It is with great sadness I hear of Officer Holly's death. There are few words of comfort I can offer except to say, that you are in our hearts and prayers.

Over the years I have experienced the loss of my officers and friends and know deeply the pain, the loss and the frustration that results.

Just remember you have friends here at the other Glendale (California)and if we can do anything to help, feel free to call upon us.

God Bless.
