Thank you Uncle James (Lt James Weaver) for being the coolest Uncle a niece could ever have. From giving military advice, to being the best fish fryer at my baby's 1st B-Day cookout, you will be sorely missed. I pray and wish you only knew how important you were to me and the whole Thompson family.

My heart goes out to all families who have lost someone this way.

Forever Love,

I reflect, and remember:
All gave some
And some gave all
Some stood through
For the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties
And recall Some gave all. (unknown writer)

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!
