[ARCHIVED] Remembering Our Fallen Heroes

Memorial 2023 Marquez

Today, we pay tribute to the local fallen officers who laid their lives on the line to protect us. Even after today, let us remember their sacrifice. 

"Angels In Blue"   

I had this friend you see, who loved

God, Country, You and me.

My friend went to work day or night

the peace to keep, so you and I could sleep.

He worked the holidays and weekends,

away from family and friends.

To keep this peace for you and me.

Each day this friend put his life on the line

to spare yours and mine.

Then one day he paid the price, he gave his life.

You've done well my friend, patrolling these earthly streets.

Now it's time to walk on Heaven's beat.

The next time you see a Police Officer or two,

remember they are one of God's Angels in Blue.

And God said; "Blessed are the Peace Makers."

By Lieutenant Stanley Hascher
