Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

While I did not know him, Chief Deputy Cash has spent his time on earth in service to his community and others in our most nobel profession. I will be honoring the memory of Chief Deputy Cash this year during the Police Unity Tour Chapter 8 ride from Norfolk to DC. It is my honor to bear the name of a warrior taken to soon - til Valhalla brother.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

This man literally saved my life. He really cared and showed me nothing but kindness and caring through his professionalism and commitment to protect and serve. I’m very sad he’s no longer with us. I have no doubt he is still keeping watch over us. RIP Deputy Cash...gone too soon.......

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.

Jody, I wish I could cook you one more Thanksgiving dinner, sing one more song for you to hear and watch your face beam with pride as Jackson takes the microphone to belt out an awesome song that we didn’t think he would do. You will be terribly missed my friend. Until we meet again keep the streets of heaven safe.
