"For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer." - Romans 13:4

Rest in peace. Your work here is done now; But, your torch will be carried on.

Rest in peace brother, you will not be forogtten.

You are another hero who has made the ultimate sacrifice for the people you swore to serve and protect. Your loss will be felt by your colleagues not just in the US but the world over.

My thoughts are with your family, friends and colleagues. May they get some comfort from the fact you died a hero doing the job you loved.

God Bless you and your colleagues that also put themselves in danger. Below is a fitting poem titled "In the line of duty".

What is the meaning of "In The Line Of Duty"
It means that an officer made the Ultimate sacrifice.
It means that someone took an officer's life.
A hero has fallen.

Officers who gave their all
To protect and serve
Have been killed by someone whom they swore
To protect and serve.

It means that their badge will no longer be on their chest
And they will join
"The Best Of The Best"

It means that family and friends are left behind
To deal with the lost of a loved one.
Only having the memories of that loved one
Close to their hearts.
Something no one can ever take away.

It means that family members will stand at the officers grave
And wonder why ...
Why would someone take an officer's life
And leave them there to die?
If we only knew.

Today an officer will place their badge on their chest
To fulfill the dreams of heroes killed
"In The Line Of Duty"

Officer C. VanderLaan

My thoughts and prayers are with those
friends and family members left behind who
cannot follow...rest in peace my brother
in blue...we will take it from here.
