A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Denver Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Hermano, vaya con dios!

Each and everyday that an Officer places his I.D. in his pocket, or puts on his uniform, he/she knows it can be his last day on earth.

It may be the last kiss from a spouse, girlfriend, husband, boyfriend, or children. It is foremost in the law enforcement officers mind.

The mantra in his training is, "go home after the watch". Yet, sometimes we don't go home, no not ever again. We know this more than another person, and yet we go. We will continue to do what we took an oath to do.

May God continue to bless the protectors, and comfort their loved ones. You see, they sacrifice too.
