My heart aches for this family knowing their lives will never be the same as they were yesterday morning. I pray God will wrap them in His loving arms.

Standing in the Line of Duty

by Mike Birkes

You try to do what you know is right,

Protect and serve; fight the good fight.

Duty calls when you get the call.

For what you do, we thank you all.

We thank you all for the risks you take,

Becoming targets daily, for our sake.

We thank you all for watching as we sleep,

For waking every day, your watch to keep.

Standing proud in the line of duty,

Courage calls the brave to arms.

You wear the badge that marks your heart.

Standing in the line of fire for the call of duty.

You have our thanks, though silent we may be.

It takes some time for the secure to see.

Your presence makes us feel safe to walk the street,

Without fearing the people that we may meet.

For that we are forever in your debt;

You, our protectors, though we may never have met.

We thank you all for what you do,

And know that we have pride and respect for you.

We thank you all for watching as we sleep,

For waking every day, your watch to keep.

Standing proud in the line of duty,

Courage calls the brave to arms.

You wear the badge that marks your heart.

Standing in the line of fire for the call of duty.

Thank you, Officer Long, for your service and sacrifice.
