Officer Ogilvie, your service was brief and you never had a chance to really grow in the job and what's worse, your family and friends have lost one of the most important persons they'll ever know. However, if they keep you in their hearts and minds, you'll never truly be gone. Thank you for your service to this nation as well as the citizens of Covington.

God Bless you, Brother and may you forever Rest in Peace.

“Marines”

You can have your Army Kakiis,
And your Navy Blues,
But here’s a different fighting man,
I’ll introduce to you.
His uniform is unlike,
Any you’ve ever seen,
The Germans called him “Devil Dog”,
His title is “Marine”.

He was trained in Parris Island,
The place that God forgot,
The sand was fourteen inches deep,
The sun was blazing hot.
He awakened up one morning,
In front of his rack he’ll stand,
And in through the doorway walked,
A giant of a man.

He turned and faced this young Marine,
With eyes as cold as steel,
He said, “I am your DI,
And this is for real.
I’ll make your life as miserable,
As miserable as I can,
And when you finally leave this place,
You’ll be a fighting man.
You’ll be a rifle expert,
You’ll know your weapon well,
And when you encounter the Viet Cong,
You’ll send their souls to Hell.

Now gather around you young Marines,
And lend me all your ears,
And I’ll tell you of a few things,
We’ve conquered through the years,
We fought at Iwo Jima,
The land of fire and Hell,
We killed all those Japanese,
And took their land as well.

Now you can tell your ladies,
And this my Lad is true,
To get herself a young “Marine”,
There is nothing he can’t do.
He’s peeled a million onions,
And twice as many spuds,
Then you’ll find him in the slop chutes,
A soaking up the suds.

And when he gets to Heaven,
St.Peter he will tell,
Another “Marine” reporting Sir.
I’ve served my time in Hell.

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.

As a member of the extended Blue Line family I was privileged last night to be present at the Medical Examiner's Office in Roanoke as Officer Ogilvie's remains were received. Dozens and dozens of law enforcement and emergency services vehicles with their bright red, white and blue lights flashing formed a solemn cortège proceeding some 60 miles from Covington to Roanoke.

I have served as a Police Chaplain for over 25 years and this was the first time I experienced a line of duty death from a place where I also had served as a pastor. Officer Ogilvie's flag-draped body was saluted in the quite privacy of that sacred place as his remains were taken into the facility. Offers were made from his fellow officers to stand vigil with his body through the night hours. Such is the respect and compassion his brothers felt in the midst of this senseless loss. May his soul and the souls of all the departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. God bless all the men and women of Law Enforcement who have sworn to serve and protect us.

Deepest condolences to the family, friends, and coworkers of Ofc. Ogilvie. There are those that CHOOSE to go in harms way for others. Unless your one of those that make such a choice, it’s probably difficult to understand. Officer Ogilvie made the choice TWICE…first as a Marine then as a Police Officer. This is a HERO …. Nothing more can be said!! GOD Bless, GOD Speed & SEMPER FI
