Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

IN MEMORY OF POLICE OFFICER ALYN BECK AND POLICE OFFICER IGOR SOLDO

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Alyn Beck and Police Officer Igor Soldo:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some twenty-four police officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of Las Vegas, Nevada. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Police Officer Alyn Beck and Police Officer Igor Soldo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department; both shot and killed, execution-style, in the line-of-duty on Sunday, June 8, 2014, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Lord God, we are grateful for the lives of Police Officer Alyn Beck and Police Officer Igor Soldo. They died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the lives of Police Officer Alyn Beck and Police Officer Igor Soldo and honor their sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of these fallen heroes. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the families of these heroes. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the deaths of these heroes, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of Las Vegas, Nevada, help them to faithfully equip their police officers with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of Las Vegas, Nevada, to remember to pay their police officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Las Vegas, Nevada, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the lives lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Alyn Beck and Police Officer Igor Soldo go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Lord God, hear our prayers.

Now, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.
