Reflections for Deputy Sheriff David William March

Dave March,

The world is not a better place without you. I will always remember you for the kind, gentle and caring person that you were. Thanks for the memories. Peace and love.

Dave,
It has been a long time. There is not a day that goes by that I do not remember you and the good times. I wish that you were still around to talk Trojan Football. Three Heismans and two National Championships would be a lot to talk about. It has been quite a ride for USC. I know you're in a better place, but we all still miss you. Your friendship will be remembered for a lifetime. My license plate will read your Temple Car No. 57 for as long as they let me drive. You are a hero and you will NEVER be forgotten!

Dave,

Thank you again for what you have sacrificed for the people of Los Angeles County. It is only a matter of time before the animal who hurt you is apprehended and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Teri's hard work is something you would have been very proud of. She is a very strong and determined woman. God bless you Dave.

I remember the day you died. I got a phone call at home. Heather was coming over so our kids could play and I was the one to tell her. Then she called Tom at work. Tom has your unit number on his POV. When we pass by your park on Plum Canyon, I tell my kids about you and how incredibly brave you were. You will always be in our hearts and the pictures I have of all of us at Tom and Heather's wedding I will cherish always. Your wife is a warrior...you would be so proud.....

Deputy March -

It was a my day off. I could see the helicopters, overhead, from my back yard a couple of miles away. When they stayed for so long I turned on the TV news and saw the scene. What a tragedy.

The next day, I took my 18 year-old son to the nearby market. We purchased a dozen roses. When the clerk heard where we were headed, she 'sweetened' our order. We left the roses where you fell. We were not the first to do so. I was impressed by the makeshift shrine created in your honor. A few days later, I attended your graveside service. The hillside was filled with men and women in uniform.

My condolences to your family. I have prayed for their burden to be lessened.
Your loss was felt by many who had probably never even met you. I thank you for your service to my home community. Rest well. We will not forget you.

Hey there Dave, well Im living in the Dallas area and tomorrow I will be attending the services of Fallen Dallas Officer Brian Jackson. He was so young just like you and had only been married a short time. Once again it was an illegal alien, but fortunatley he was captured and will be charged with Capital Murder. I pray for justice for you and your family. I wear my bracelet and inform people about you and your sensless murder all the time. Hopefully someday all Terri's persistance will prevail....God Bless you and miss you! p.s. I'm going to go watch USC kick some UCLA butt and think of you

Dave,
I had the opportunity to meet Teri and her love for you burns as strong as ever. It's obvious that all she does she does to honor you and I believe you would be proud of her. Please continue to keep watch over her and protect her. You're in our prayers and may you rest in peace. God bless you.

Darling Dave,

This has been such a long nightmare. I sat at your gravesite today, and still feel so desperate to see the killer, that executed you...pay. I never imagined, that a border (Mexico) would allow this monster to live openly free. (They're against the death penalty, as well as life in prison.) This crime happened on U.S. soil...why do we tollerate this?? Why wouldn't they send this thug back? We would have to reduce charges to satify Mexico's laws. We believe your life was worth more than that. We are going to fight the fight in your honor. You made our family so incredibly proud. When our efforts fall on deaf ears, or we feel discouraged, your bright smile lifts our hearts and fuels our pursuit of justice. You deserved better. Armando killed one of law enforcement's bravest. We will never forget your words of wisdom, your silly pranks, and your faithful and undying love for your family. I'm so proud of you! I hope and pray our family will have some closure...in the meantime we'll keep the heat on!! There's many on our side helping us apply pressure. Keep sending them our way...we need all the help we can get!
Honey, so many people loved you. You have touched so many lives. I can never thank all those who have carried us in prayer, and helped share the word of your injustice. I know that many out there, love and respect those who protect us daily. Your profession was more awesome than I ever imagined. It takes courage to face evil that lurks around every corner. I have a new profound admiration for the badge. I wish I had a chance to tell you all our endevors, and our challenges. We have met so many wonderful people along that way, who believed in you, and believe in those who keep us safe. I will always love and miss you, Teri

Well while watching CNN tonight I watched two of the bravest people in the world on tv. Your parents. The coward that hurt you has still not been brought to justice but i hope and pray for the President to do the right thing and bring him back to stand trial. There are many good things people are saying about you. I hope my parents or I with my wife as a trooper go through what your family is going through I just don't and can't imagine the strenght they must have. I am so sorry this has happened and wished I could change the outcome. God Speed.

Deputy March,
Thank you, sir, for all that you did to protect us. Even though it has been a couple of years since that tragic day, you will never be forgotten. I drive past your memorial going to and coming from school. Seeing the love that everyone had for you motivates me to have your courage and strength. Thank you once again! Rest in peace.

I heard Dave's dad talking on KABC talkradio this morning and am thrilled to know about the candlelight vigil at Irwindale Speedway in April. At last an opportunity to mingle with like-minded patriots in this noble cause

DEPUTY MARCH,

I AM SORRY FOR YOU BEING GONE, AND I AM SORRY I AM JUST NOW GETTING AROUND TO WRITING THIS MESSAGE. I WANT TO EXPRESS MY APOLOGY TO YOU FOR MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND SENSE. SHORTLY AFTER YOUR LIFE WAS TAKEN, I WAS SEARCHING A HOUSE ONE NIGHT IN THE HEART OF EAST LA, WHEN I CAME ACROSS YOUR KILLER. WHILE DOING A HOUSE SEARCH I CAME ACROSS A HOUSE FULL OF GANG MEMBERS. ONCE I FOUND MY BAIL FUGITIVE AND IN TRANSPORT TO THE JAIL, THE FUGITIVE ASKED ME WHY I DIDN'T TAKE MR. GARCIA, THE GUY SITTING ON THE COUCH. MY FUGITIVE EXPLAINED TO ME LATER THAT NIGHT HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR GUNNING DOWN A DEPUTY. I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW SORRY I AM FOR LETTING YOUR KILLER SLIP THROUGH MY FINGERS. I GUESS I WAS IN A HURRY THAT NIGHT.

IF YOU GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO FIND HIM I WILL. AS OF THIS MOMENT, I CAN'T FIND HIM. POINT ME TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND LOCATION in MEXICO AND I WILL GET HIM. TAKE CARE AND I KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN ON US KEEPING US SAFE. TAKE CARE BROTHER. REST IN PEACE...

DAVE, I REMEMBER TALKING TO YOU THAT MORNING BEFORE YOU WENT 10-8, AND THE NIGHTMARE THAT FOLLOWED WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE INCIDENT. WE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER BUT WE ALWAYS TALKED TO EACH OTHER BETWEEN OUR SHIFTS. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE ACADEMY AND PATROL TRAINING WITH YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY PRAYERS. GOD BLESS CLASS #290 FOREVER. YOU AND TERI WILL GET YOUR JUSTICE.

Dupty March,
They showed your peace on americas most wanted again last night.
But they didn't say the part about Mexico not turning him over.I think that is harboring a terrorist,so lets sent in troops and bring him back.

October 3, 2004

Hey There Teri,

I hope this finds you in good spirits. I wanted to let you know even though we havent talked in a bit we still think of you often. It may have been a few years and people have gone on with their lifes, I wanted to let you know Bill and I still pray for you and your daughter and for Dave. We hope and pray you are comforted everyday when you get out of bed, and when you have to breath but it hurts so bad you just dont want to. I so wish I could make the pain go away Teri. I wish we could turn the hands of time and if not bring Dave back at least catch this jerk and you would have some end in sight. Like you said in our last talk together you are scared for not only my husband but all other law enforcement out there. Knowing the bad guys can run to mexico makes life a little more uneasy for us wifes of officers. I hope we can talk soon and my email is the same, please call me. I pray you are comforted and you know the Lord is with you always. We love you Teri. We know Dave is watching you and is very proud on how you have fought for him. I just wish the fight was over so you can breath a littler easier. Love ya girl..

The inability or unwillingness of our so called powerful government to bring this murderer coward to justice in this country is a disgrace and shame upon our land.
This Deputy dwells in the house of the Lord and he deserves justice.
Heros like Deputy March are never forgotten and their cause will go on until his killer is brought to justice.

It is an outrage that the murderer has not been brought back to the U.S. to answer for this intentional, heinous murder! I hope the killer is brought back as soon as possible to face the most harsh punishment allowable by California law.
You are a true hero who made the ultimate sacrifice. May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. May God bless you, your family and brother/sister officers.

Every damn day when I think of what happened to you Dave, I see RED! I don't understand how we can call ourselves a "Great Nation" when our neighbors to the south will harbor evil bastards because our justice is "too harsh" I hope your soul can rest in peace because we sure as hell cannot! His time will come, and he will be made to pay! See you in the hereafter Brother!

Dear David, I am a fellow Deputy with LASD. I attended your funeral back in 2002. I just recently attended your "David March Rally" at the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita last weekend, May 8 -04. It was the least I could do. I talked briefly with your dad and your wife Teri there. I told them my opinion about some of the reasons "WHY" our elected officials in Washington D.C. are not putting pressure on the Mexican government to help bring the suspect to justice. It seems the politicans are more concerned with global trade than getting justice for police officers and American citizens murdered by illegal aliens. It is apparent that your surviving family and friends are not giving up the fight, in your loving memory, to help make American Police Officers and citizens aware of all the other police officers and ordinary citizens gunned down by illegal aliens all over the United States. The "shooters" know all they have to do is simply "run for the border". Your death will not be in vain. Your family and friends and fellow police officers will keep the pressure on the politicans who talk the talk but do not walk the walk. God Bless your soul forever. May God Bless your wonderful family and may He ease their pain now and give them comfort. We all will never forget you Deputy David March, "SIR", I Salute You ! signed, Larry Breazeale, Deputy Sheriff, L.A.County Sheriff's Department, and Msgt.(ret.) USAFR ,Security Police

Teri, 4-03-04

You just missed another birthday with Dave and soon his 2 years of leaving you will be here. And still no closure. I am sickend to say the least, we tried so hard here, signed petitions and sent them off. But still no answer for you. I am sorry my prayers havent worked for you and Kayla. I miss your talks we shared, and hope to catch up to you soon. But until then know you are not forgotten and always thought of here in our house hold. I am a lucky one, my husband was able to go back to work after being injured protecting the streets. I wish I could turn the hands of time back and bring Dave back to you. I know you miss him so much. I just hope you know we are thinking of you. Keep in touch and call me...

Dear Dave,

We roamed the same halls and drove the same patrol area a few years apart. Unfortunately you stopped a scum bag coward who ran to Mexico. From everything I have read and heard, everyone at our station and the Department who knew you were proud!! I wish I would have been lucky enough to meet you myself.

I am proud to say I work the same Department you did sir!

God bless you and you lovely wife.

RIP
