Today A Hero Was Laid To Rest.

Today a Hero was laid to rest.

Ribbons and badge upon the chest,  uniform perfectly pressed.

Brothers and sisters gathered there to pay respects and share a prayer.

The Thin Blue Line as it's commonly known, but the uniforms are all colors...grey, blue, black, green and brown.

All at attention as the Hero travels past.  Saluting the latest but seemingly never the last. 

In support of each other and the Hero's loved ones left to grieve. 

Trying to make sense of what they don't want to believe.

The Hero's family is left now to wonder how to move on. 

The Hero would tell them that although I am gone rest assured I will be with you and tomorrow there will still be a dawn.

But know that the Hero was answering a calling.  As they say "doing the job" for
blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Rest well Hero...those loved ones, family and friends you left behind will carry on for you and never forget.

Signed,
An Anonymous Fellow Brother.

Matt and his wife were our neighbors in Orlando and Matt was one of the most beautiful and genuine people we have been blessed to know. I am absolutely shattered to hear about this senseless act and cannot imagine the grief his family is feeling. Please, please all you other Blue Heroes, please be safe and go home to your families tonight. The world is a better place for Matt's having been in it.
