Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Although we never met, you protected my family and me.
Your vocation was to uphold the right and fight the wrong.
You are our warrior at home, whose courage I cannot imagine.
Now you are gone and we will miss you so.

Holding the Line

Dedicated to the memory of
Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Deputy Robert Kunze III
EOW: 09/16/18

by

Sgt. Oscar R. Thomasson II

When the history of America is told
They will speak of a courageous band.
Of brave men and women who took a stand.
Against the evil that threatened this great land.
Holding the line

Answering the call both night and day
They stood between their beloved homes and crime’s desolation
Running to the fight without hesitation
The living hope of this nation
Holding the line

Warriors battling on the home front
Willing in an instant to give their all
Sad far too many in this conflict must fall
For freedom and liberty they stood tall
Holding the line

We honor their sacrifice
In solemn tribute we stand
Sharing a quiet grief few can understand
In every corner of this great land
Holding the line

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln
