Rest in peace, Sergeant Deng, we have the watch. Thank you for your service sir.
May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
May the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13 (NKJV)

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.

In Memory of Sergeant Shiou Deng
It is with a heavy heart that I reflect on the tremendous loss of Sergeant Shiou Deng—a hero who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty, trying to save others. I have known Deng since we first stepped into the Academy over 26 years ago, and throughout all those years, his kindness, compassion, and unwavering spirit left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Deng was more than a classmate; he was a beacon of love, humor, and genuine care. His infectious smile, his quick wit, and his ability to lift the spirits of those around him made every room brighter. He was the embodiment of selflessness, always putting others before himself, even in the most dangerous moments.
His sacrifice reminds us of the true meaning of courage and the extraordinary strength of a heart committed to service. Deng, your bravery, your kindness, and your unwavering dedication will forever inspire us. You have left an everlasting legacy that will continue to motivate us to be better, to serve with honor, and to cherish every moment.
God bless your soul. You are forever in our hearts. Your memory will remain a guiding light for us all.
Rest in peace, hero. You will always be remembered.
With profound respect,

Heavenly Father, I come before You today grieved in heart over the divisions in our country; the United States of America. I grieve for every life lost to violence, regardless of color or creed. And I especially grieve this day over the senseless deaths of America’s Peace Officers whose sworn duty is to protect us from harm. Please grant comfort and hope to their families. I know from the Holy Scriptures in Romans 13 that Peace Officers have a sacred task, to enforce laws that protect the innocent and punish the guilty. I pray that You will protect them as they serve us. Give them wisdom, discernment, and a deep desire to serve You. Please surround every Peace Officer in our nation, the United States of America, with battalions of warring angels to protect them from harm. I stand in the powerful and mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ against every work of Satan intended to inflict injury and death on our Protectors. May Satan’s power be thwarted, in Your mighty and holy name, and his plans exposed by Your Light. In the mighty and holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, our Redeemer, and the Mediator between us, Heavenly Father, in prayer, and by His authority, I pray! Amen.
Please find Encouragement, Comfort, Support, and Hope from God's Word:
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
[Matthew 5:9 ESV];
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." [Psalm 23:4 ESV];
"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."
[John 15:13 ESV];
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." [Matthew 5:4 ESV];
"And he [Jesus] said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." [Luke 23:43 ESV], and;
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." [John 3:16 ESV].

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