A POLICEMAN'S PRAYER
BROTHER WHEN YOU WEEP FOR ME REMEMBER THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
LAY ME DOWN AND WHEN YOU LEAVE REMEMBER I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE...IN EVERY DARK AND DREARY ALLEY I'LL BE THERE AS YOU SLOWLY TREAD, ON EVERY STREET CORNER IN THE DRIVING SNOW I'LL HOLD YOUR COAT AND YOU WILL KNOW.
IN PLACES WHERE THE DEVIL IS AFRAID TO WALK...
AT DOORS WHERE YOU MEET RESISTANCE...
IN HOUSES WHERE CHILDREN HIDE...
YOU KNOW I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE.
THE PLACE FROM WHICH I NOW RESPOND IS OVERSTAFFED WITH HEROES GONE...MEN WHO ANSWERED ONE LAST JOB AND DID IT WELL.
AS POLICEMEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A CARD DEALT IN OUR HAND...A CARD WE HOPE WE NEVER PLAY BUT WE HOLD IT THERE ANYWAY.
THE CARD IS SOMETHING WE IGNORE AS WE STAND ON THAT THIN BLUE LINE EVERY TOUR...FOR WE KNOW THAT WE ARE THE ONLY PRAYER FOR MANY OUT THERE.
SO REMEMBER, AS YOU WIPE YOUR TEARS, THE JOY I HAVE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...AS THE JOB I LOVED TO DO I PRAY THAT THIS THOUGHT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

Mr. Ogburn, to me peace officers are 10 feet tall and bullet proof. When things like this happen, I know they aren't, but in Heaven, you are now. Peace be with your family sir.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the friends and family of this man who gave his life for others. If not for peace officers and those who protect citizens from evil and danger we would be in deep trouble.
God bless these men who put their personal safety aside to do a job that is necessary.
Tony, you and your family are in my prayers.

I am proud to say that I personally knew Tony, when I worked as a Deputy in Henderson County, Tony was a reserve Deputy and a Jailer. Tony would ride out with me in order to get his FTO book completed. Tony was one of the most deticated, intellegent, and professional men I knew. Tony loved his wife...for the entire time I knew Tony his wife has been ill, Tony served her as much as he served the citizens. Rest In Peace brother Tony, We will never forget you.
