Chief McClelland, when you chose to be in law enforcement, you knew that your life would always be in danger, and yet, called to unselfish service and a desire to save lives, you did it anyway. I salute you for your devotion and pray that you will now find the peace that only our Lord can give. My deepest sympathy to your family and colleagues, and during this time of grief, may our Lord immerse you and them in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper
