Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“ uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place. As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say its ok you’re with your eternal partners. A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

I am once again saddened by the tragedy of this mans death. Although I do not know him, I am saddened by the senselessness of this act of terror. May the Lord God grant his family peace and hope during this time of grieving.

Officer Collier: You have been taken from us all too early. I know that God has accepted you into his charge, and us Canadian Police Officers, and first responders, are all praying for you, and especially your whole family. May God reach down, comfort them in this very trying time, and help them get past the pain, as they know you will always be a hero in not only their hearts, but the whole law enforcement family, be it American, Canadian or other nations. RIP my brother, your shift is finished.

Police Officers: We are all a special breed. When those who need our assistance run from the threat, we run head long towards it, without due regard to our own safety, without thoughts of harm or worse. Officer Collier did what he was trained to do. Immediately respond to assist someone in need. His brave actions, although fatal, brought numerous other officers to the scene, to which resulted directly in the pursuit of two Boston Marathon Bombers. One down and the other on the loose. I hope and pray that all Law Enforcement personel, and First Responders are protected and kept from harm. For the officer that was wounded. I pray that you have a speedy recovery without serious complications. To my brothers and sisters working on finding the second suspect, remember, we here in Canada have your back, and God is also with you to protect you. Be safe.
