Rest Peace New Bern North Carolina Police Officer Alexander Thalmann; while your service to your community was cut short by an individual robbing society of the peace your attempting to provide them, your service to both the citizens of New Bern North Carolina and the United States Marine Corps was much appreciated and will never be forgotten.

Your sacrifice is not in vain brother. Plenty are willing to stand on the sidelines of life, you played the game. Remember that rough men stand ready to do violence so others can sleep peacefully at night. God speed.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Alexander was killed.

To the Thalmann family, fellow officers, and all who call Alexander beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

My son was also your brother in green as well so I thank you for your service in the Corps and bid you semper fi. I have posted on this site for almost nine years, and this is the first time I have had to include the following sentiment: I am so sorry that the mayor of the town you protected and served and lost your life doing so did not honor you in the way you deserved and your sacrifice demanded.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Officer Thalmann gave to his community and the citizens of North Carolina, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 31, 2014.
