To
Those Who Fall
“You
will not be forgotten”
you
who in your duty fall
a
fragile line of blue
between
my life and violence
all
too thin
yet
doing your duty
as
I and mine
sleep
The
quote is from a block of granite at
Charles
O. Bick Police College
raised
in memory of fallen officers.
The
full quote is as follows:
“Dedicated
to fallen
officers
who have
sacrificed
their lives
‘To
Serve and Protect’
You
will not be forgotten”
How
can we ever do enough
for
those who place their lives
on
the line for us day after day.
