The last several days have been occupied with arranging various details for today’s funeral. The funeral is now complete. I am left with one final task, and that is, authoring this text.
As I write I can’t help but think how shallow, hollow, and futile any words of mine must be to describe our loss in comparison to your grief and anguish. The words I chose are of no consequence in comparison to that of the absence of a father, husband, brother, or son.
We can only pray that our Heavily Father assuage your loss of this, your most outrageous fortune. On behalf of a grateful nation, a somber law enforcement community and a saddened neighborhood, we can only pray that the Grand Architect of the Universe takes Brian’s soul into his loving hands. Only you, the family of the fallen truly appreciate the sacrifice that has been laid upon the alter of freedom. Please know that he can rest in peace knowing that we have his watch from here, for he has completed his tour.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Trooper Linn 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 Trooper Linn has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Trooper Linn, 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 Trooper Linn 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.

For those who pledge to uphold it, Freedom requires a sacrifice the protected will never know.
