My dad was your grandfather's cousin and though I never knew you, you are a brother. I am seeing this senseless crime on peace officers far too often and I have shared many of them on facebook to bring this epidemic to the mind and hearts of those I know. They have not hit close to home like this. I am a retired Dallas firefighter and always had a close bond with the police officers there. I count all firefighters and police officers as part of my family. I am sorry I never got to know you. Rest in peace my brother.

Dear Benjamin:

I’ll only spend a few words on the yellow cowardly bastard that did this; yes yellow coward, because only a coward does the crime and runs away. But I am so happy to say that he has been caught. Now let’s see if the courts FINALLY do the right thing and exact harsh justice on this street vermin.

Now, on to the REAL reason for this reflection. Your sacrifice is monumental, but the sacrifice that now falls on your family is more of a monumental event. To know that they will look at an empty seat at the Thanksgiving dinner table, and never hear your voice and see your smile, is a pain and a sacrifice that TOO MANY of our law enforcement officer’s families have had to make.

Too many Americans have come to take for granted the killings of police officers as “just a part of the dangers of the job”. Really? Has our nation grown that callous that a horrific event like this is an accepted way of life? The same Americans who we swore to protect so they can live in a warm, safe house and sleep in peace, enjoy their family and holidays. The same Americans, who when fired up, can move mountains to make things change. Where are they now? Why are we not hearing a loud voice of anger and protest about making our laws extremely harsh for those convicted of murdering a police officer? Is it political correctness? BLUE LIVES MATTER, TOO.

Thank you for the service you provided to the people of San Antonio, and the people of Texas. Texas, and San Antonio in particular, has a history that knows all too well about sacrifice in the name of freedom. Thank you for your dedication to live by our sacred code, “Protect and serve”. May Almighty God grant His peace to your family, and hold you close to His heart. “Above all else, honor”. Rest in peace, my brother. The “Thin Blue Line” has, and always will, hold. Amen

My condolences to the family of Detective Benjamin Marconi. Please remember God’s promise at Revelation 21:4 where it says that "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” May you find peace in knowing that anything that anything that causes pain, will be done away with. Once again, I am sorry for your lost.

20 years ago I met Ben standing in line waiting to put in his application to become a SA Police officer. I knew immediately he would be an outstanding Police officer. During the process he invited me into his family as I was from out of Country and he provided support and encouragement even though we were competing for the limited positions. That is the man I remember Protective, Competitive, Supportive. RIP Ben and I pray for you and your family.
