My heart goes out to the families of the two officers. My prayers go to the Virginia State police who have lost two brothers and continue to go out every day and do an outstanding job. I truly hope that both families can think of the happy times they got to spend with these officers for a very short time and remember that they will always be with you and watching over you. God bless.

I also pray for the Virginia State Police who have lost two brothers who will never be forgotten and continue to go out and do an outstanding job every day. I truly hope and pray that the families can think of all the good times they got to share with these two officers for such a short time and continue to go on.

To the family of Lieutenant Pilot Jay Cullen, friends, Colonel W. Steven Flaherty and the Virginia State Police,

The actions of two groups, neither of which are supported by the majority of Americans, caused you to be up and on duty that day and it lead to your untimely and tragic death. It sickens me that you were taken from your family, friends and co-workers (which are both family AND friends) for such a disgusting display of "Free Speech". We, who occupy reality, mourn you, grieve for those you leave behind and pray that you are spirited off to Heaven on a fast track and that those who are ultimately responsible, KNOW it, FEEL it and never FORGET what they've caused.

God Bless you Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful. I know those you leave behind will always keep you in their hearts and minds and never truly let you go

Lt. Cullen, Rest in Peace. May god comfort your family and friends. You and your family were neighbors when you were living in Pokeys Creek Road off of "Old Farm Road" in Lynchburg. I do not know what to say "Old farm Road" in Albermarle county, VA as the place to Rest In Peace. Dear Lord help their family...
