Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It's been a long time since I've written any words here, but I think about you every day...there are reminders everywhere. Too many officers lose their lives everyday... it's so wrong. I miss you my friend...

I had the pleasure of serving by Tony's side in the Navy aboard the John C. Stennis during the 2000 deployment and was fortuneate enough to have him as a dive buddy overseas. I gained insight into several qualities a person should aspire to have from the brief time we hung out. Those being a person with exceptional moral standards and a strong work ethic, both of which Tony possessed and lived life by. He displayed the utmost respect and loyalty to his friends; his presence will always be sorely missed by all

Tony, thinking of you today and remembering that horrible day 5 years ago... still seems like yesterday some times. I can almost hear that radio traffic, and then the silence that caused our hearts to drop when our worst fears told us something had gone terribly wrong... We will never forget... Your family has been so strong, held together by your love, as we all have... thanks for watching over us every day... we miss you.

Tony,
You are not forgotten, neither as a police officer, son, father, husband nor fellow city worker. As Friday arrives soon on the same date, you will continue to be prayed for remembered and missed.

Hi Tony, just thinking about you today as June 13th approaches... I forgot to mention I saw your folks a while back when I stopped by to visit you. I was going to go by the house but they arrived at the cemetary the same time Leonard and I did... how amazing is that? They look great and it was so good to see them and to talk about you... but boy do they miss you... it breaks my heart to see their pain...but their love for you is so awesome to share... I know you're always watching over them but maybe when June 13th comes around you could give them an extra hug or two? :) Thanks... miss you :)

Thank you, Officer Zeppetella, for making the world a better place. I hope your son, who is 4 or 5 years old now I guess, feels like he knows you. I know you live on in the hearts of your family and friends. I hope you are spoken of often and many stories are told to him so he'll know what a wonderful daddy he had.

Dear Officer Zeppetella - Thinking of you again this day. We never met but I see something wonderful here in the character of those who love you. Thank you for continuing your watch. Go well, Shield.

A Warrior’s Prayer

Today is the day the Lord has made…

I prepare and ready myself for war, awaiting battle and what it holds for me.

Not because I am a seeker of oppression or the taking of another, because these are the true tests and measures of my faith and love for my God.

Lord I pray; Let my compassion and understanding run swifter than my judgments, but in moments of duress and where innocents fall underfoot, let your sword of justice destroy my enemy by my hands. And in all my endeavors, let my actions and my words glorify your name.

Daily will I face the works and the very army of satan himself and witness the horrors and evils of non-believers and the twisted motivations of the lost who seek to undermine you and hinder my aim, though none shall deter my cause for I know my calling.

Like the symbol of the eagle, the branch of peace extends first for those who seek it, but the arrows stand ready to take flight when provoked. And when provoked and tested, I will fear nothing, for I am eternally protected by my faith in you and covered in the armor of your blood.

Lord, you are my guide, my purpose and my shelter from the destructions of evil men. My Every move is according to your plan.

As a soldier for Saint Michael, satan’s armies will be trampled beneath me in your name and through all doubts cast and burdens bore will I rise again, if even in death.

For as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.

In this, I pray.

Amen
