THE MONUMENT

I never dreamed it would be me
My name for all eternity
Recorded here at this hallowed place
Alas, my name, no more my face

“In the line of duty” I hear them say
My family now the price will pay
My folded flag stained with their tears
We only had those few short years

The badge no longer on my chest
I sleep now in eternal rest
My sword I pass to those behind
And pray they keep this thought in mind

I never dreamed it would be me
And with heavy heart and bended knee
I ask for all here from the past
Dear God, let my name be the last

Today is the day that the Officers killed last year are added to the National Police Officer’s Memorial. 156 Officers were killed last year.

President Bush paid tribute on Sunday to 156 law enforcement officers killed last year while making traffic stops, arresting criminals, investigating crimes and performing other duties.

The names of the officers were added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, along with 259 others who died in previous years but were not yet engraved on the memorial that was dedicated in 1991.

“All of these men and women served the cause of justice,” Bush said at a memorial service on the Capitol lawn. “Our nation stands in admiration and gratitude for their service, and we ask God’s blessings for the families and friends they have left behind.”

Each May 15 is Peace Officers Memorial Day as a result of a resolution signed by President Kennedy in 1962. Bush has spoken at a memorial service every year since he became president.

The blog is definitely amazing… You know how to balance writing and opinion. However, I cant get over how little you actually wrote – Add more content, otherwise super post.

CURT, YES It didn’t need words, because they cannot hear it anymore, you did it for them who gave their life to protect the citizens, and you are one who is being mostly touch by this MEMORIAL MADE FOR YOUR BROTHERS IN ARMS,
what struck me is that too many died by gunfire, is it another wrong rules of engagement mistake,
which is impose on the protectors of this NATION? ‘ those who where gun down, where suppose to have gun down a criminal, and still be among us to protect, but the reverse situation happened,
and it’s unacceptable to hear, that criminals are running free when the good guy is no more,
I sure hope the command notice the extreme numbers of deaths and quickly give the freedom
of actions taken by officers in charge of confronting the criminals, without having to ask if they are allowed to shoot, no more ask first and shoot should be implement now to protect them from any aftermat punishment either, they are the good guys and need to be free to choose to shoot faster than the criminals. they are very precious people , lets treat them like so.

yes, we must remember them, because they where the GUARDIANS of WHAT IS RIGHT,
