Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

God of Justice, I am grateful for the lives and sacrifices of all America’s Peace Officers. They died serving us. Help us never forget. Help us celebrate their lives and honor their sacrifices. Be with the families of these fallen peace officers. Comfort them and give them Your strength and peace. Guide us as we seek to take care of the families of these fallen heroes. May we care for them with integrity. In commemorating the deaths of these fallen heroes, help us also to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition from this earthly life to the heavenly life yet to come. This assurance was guaranteed to all believers upon the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to that life to come with joy and anticipation. Thank You, Lord God, for hearing this prayer. In the mighty and holy name of Christ Jesus, Your dear Son, I pray. Amen.

Holy Scripture References:

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” [Psalm 23:4 ESV]

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” [John 3:16 ESV]

Sergeant Johnson, it has been 21 years since you were taken from us. Northern New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your 16 years of law enforcement service.

Sergeant Johnson, it has been 20 years since you were taken from us. I still remember being at the law enforcement walk-through and your funeral. The whole town of Bradford was there, and the tiny funeral home was overwhelmed. Even the local Subway named a sandwich in you honor. I order and took home a Big Mike sandwich that day. Northern New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices that you and too many others have made for us. Thank you for your service.

Tomorrow will be 20 years since you were taken from us all, M.J. It seems like yesterday to us. David and I stopped over to visit you a couple of weeks ago. You were a good friend to our whole family. Love and peace to you always, Mike.
