The easiest way for evil to triumph, is for good men to do
nothing....Edmund Burke. There are people who think that we do the
job to be heroes, or for personal gain. They could never understand
that it is about the person next to you.

It is abundantly clear that ALL of your fallen officers shared a
common thread - they were of the highest caliber yet modest and
unassuming in the approach of their duties. I believe that for as long
as such
men and women patrol your streets with such commitment and
professionalism, then you have much to be proud of. My heart goes out
to all the bereaved families, but be assured, there is someone in
"every" corner of the world who cares!

May your
family find peace and strength. I know how it feels to lose a
family member in the line of duty. My prayers are with you.
They will be blessed for all that they did for us while they were here
and now they can all watch over us.

to keep watch over us on earth while he patrols his beat
in heaven.
