Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

God speed my good man...I hope some day your daughter will come to understand and be as proud of you as we are...those of us left behind will now take your watch.

To the U.S. Marine: I have always said that while you are away protecting our families, we will be here protecting yours...now you have done both.

Another hero falls to the works of a degenerate. God bless Cpl McKay's daughter and family. To the Marine and his son, thank you for seeing a crime and rectifying a terrible wrong. You three are heros. May Cpl McKay know God's love in heaven and meet his brothers in joy there.

I haven't been able to get online for over a week due to viruses. When I came back I see we have lost more officers.
We thank Corporal McKay for his service and duty to his community. Hopefully the civilian that tried to come to his rescue will receive some gratification for what he did to take out a person that gave no thought or value to another person's life.
He will always be remembered for his dedication, and it is a shame to have to lose him at such a price.

My hearfelt condolences to all who knew and loved Cpl. Bruce McKay. He was an exemplary Police Officer, and paid the ultimate sacrifice. My sincere thanks to the former US Marine and his son who came to Cpl. McKay's aid. My prayers to God in Heaven for Bruce's Family, Fiancee, Franconia PD, and his Friends. Psalm 23.

To the family, friends, and officers that knew Corporal McKay, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and department during this most difficult time. Also to the Marine civilian (SEMPER FI) who came to the call when an officer down needed assistance.

Officer's never have a true day off, I am sure that applies to Marine's. Being an offier whether it is in the Armed Forces or walking the beat, is a 24/7 job. Thank you for your fine service Corporal McKay.
To the Marine that helped:
You are the true hero. You helped get a horrible monster off the streets. Thank you...

Cpl McKay may you rest in peace you are a brave hero, may God bless you and your family in their sorrow. My deepfelt condolences go out to your family, friends and co-workers. God bless the Marine and his son for stepping up and helping Cpl Mckay. It brings comfort as a wife of a police officer to know that their are citizens who care enough to aide an officer in need.

Our sympathy and prayers for Office McKay and his family. We salute the Marine hero who did the appropriate thing. The U.S. Marine motto should not be Semper Fi- it should be "We take the trash out all over the World". However we suppose there really is nothing to celebrate.
