In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Two fine Officers whose lives were taken by meaningless nobodies and for no good reason. Tragic and infuriating is putting it mildly.

God Bless both Patrolman White and Corporal Moak. Thank you both for your brave and selfless service and may you both rest in the merciful arms of God for all eternity in peace.

As the mother of a son who is a Law Enforcement Officer and another son who works in the county jail, my heart aches for the mothers of these two officers. They laid down their lives in order to protect the lives of others.
RIP, both of you. I pray for peace in the hearts of the families involved.

May God bless and keep you.

James White was not a good man, he was a great man. I say this not because of his job or this circumstance, I say so, for I’ve experienced his honor. He did not smoke or drink, I never, literally NEVER, heard him utter a profanity.
We were in the same military Unit, he medically retired from. For a time, he was sidelined from law enforcement due to injury sustained in war. When he told me he was going back, my heart filled with joy. James had a genuine passion for what he did; James certainly didn’t do it for fortune or fame. Even though I’m 7,500mi. away deployed in SW Asia, we still were in contact. Our last contact was 05SEPT18; he told me of gains he was making in the gym to aid in his physical betterment. As he was a single dad, I’ve a sadness for his 2 young boys. They’re without their daddy, which in my opinion, is a far greater loss than society & I combined, are now faced with. I will miss our fellowship, Brother.
Your brother in Arms,

"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."

The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
