I AM A WARRIOR
by Jon F. Hooper
I fight not for glory or fame,
For they are momentary.
I fight for those who can't.
I fight for Justice.
I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden.
And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets,
For I serve to protect the innocent.
It matters not where or when,
For evil knows no boundaries.
Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny,
I will not flee.
Justice is my weapon.
Faith is my shield.
Hope is my armor.
Cry not at my passing,
For it was my Honor to fight for you.
Shed not tears of sorrow,
But tears of joy,
For now,
I stand with God.

Rachel Riska VanDyne

Losing an officer is always difficult. But I feel most sad about three innocent kids who lost a father, and an innocent wife who lost her husband. All at the hands of a coward who couldn't even face what he had done. Peace be with the family and friends now and down the difficult road.

You will always have a place in heaven with your Father. God bless you and your family.

My son was killed in the line of duty in 08. I know what losing your son feels like. May God keep you under his arm for as long as you need it.
