Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

What a fine line today's officers must walk every day while dealing with the public. If they approach a subject in a defensive posture prepared for a firefight they are written up by their superiors, who no longer work the streets and whose only care is fear of citizens or media complaints and department politics. Their primary concerns being Politically Correctness and keeping out of the spotlight of the anti-police media. When officers relax their approach in the traffic stops as demanded by the same supervisor, they increase their chances of becoming a target for the thugs that rule the mean streets. As long as we fear the PC public and our jobs, more than we fear for our safety, we will continue to lose more fine men and women every year. So glad I am no longer out there doing that thankless job. God bless all of you honest, faithful officers out there and God bless the souls of the murdered men and women who chose public service over the selfish pursuit of the dollar.

After watching your daughters talk about you during your service, its hard to have the words to express my condolences. But I know you will be watching out for your daughters and also those left here on earth that knew you will be doing the same. Thanks for your service sir and rest in peace.

I work at one of the State mental hospitals and saw a notice from our hospital administrator about flying the flags at half mast. Just want you to know, I am just a year older than Sergeant Lunger and think about the generation he grew up in, his daughters and how much more he had to live for with them as a part of his life, not to mention the community members he served by trying to make it safe for everyone to get from point A to point B without having to worry about getting harmed. His and his coworker's service has meant people can go about their business with less stress. I just want his family and co-workers to know that I will be observant of the flags when I come into work each morning for the remainder of this week and will think of Seargent Lunger, as well as the loss of future memories he still had to build with his family and friends.

do not let this seperate - unity at this time is strength. the pain of this passage is a simple, but direct reflection of how deeply love cuts. scream until you can't stand the sound anymore if you like - then you sit down - wipe your face dry and remember that you can only play the cards you're dealt. life is measured by quality not quantity. people care, remember and miss him - some never even get that chance - we should all be so lucky.

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.
