Somebody killed a policeman today, and
a part of America died. A piece of our country he swore to protect,
will be buried with him at his side. The suspect that shot him will stand
up in court, with counsel demanding his rights. While a young widowed
mother must work for her kids, and spend many long, lonely nights. The
beat that he walked was a battle field too, just as if he'd gone off to
war. Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
to his name they will add a gold star. Yes, somebody killed a policeman
today, in your home town or in mine. While we slept in comfort behind our
locked doors, a cop put his life on the line. Now his ghost walks a beat
on a dark city street, and he stands at each new rookie's side. He
answered the call, of himself gave his all, And A Part Of America
Died
Oh Almighty God, Whose Great Power And
Eternal Wisdom Embraces The Universe, Watch Over All Policemen and
Law Enforcement Officers. Protect Them From Harm In The Performance Of
Their Duty To Stop Crime, Robberies, Riots And Violence. We Pray, Help
Them Keep Our Streets And Homes Safe Day And Night. We Recommend Them To
Your Loving Care Because Their Duty Is Dangerous. Grant Them Your Unending
Strength And Courage In Their Daily Assignments. Dear God, Protect
These Brave Men & Women, Grant Them Your Almighty Protection, Unite
Them Safely With Their Families After Duty Has Ended. Amen.
Every day, those who have chosen to serve
society through Law Enforcement
selflessly put their lives on the
line for a greater good. They are willing to pay the
ultimate price to ensure that our personal
freedoms will be maintained. Many have
paid this price to the lawless,
the evil and the reckless. We owe those who serve
much more than
they actually receive. They are there in day or night, on
weekends, on holidays and
times when most people would not work. While you
sleep, secure in your house, they
are there. And yet, many people breeze over the
headlines the next day, "Police Officer Killed" nonchalantly.
"These things happen."
"That's part of their job."
These things are true.
It is part of the job. The possiblity
of danger exists around every corner, in every
dark alley, on every traffic stop. These things do happen. But a
criminal who would kill a police officer, would have no problem killing
you. Remember those who have fallen for those they do not know.
They died trying to keep you and your family safe.
