Reflections for Police Officer Anthony Hussein Dia
Dia,
I have no words Buddy. I still can’t believe it and I sure as heck will never understand it. You brought “it” with you every shift....didn’t matter to you because you had it.
Rest In Peace Dia, we’ll take it from here BRO

Anthony was a student in my AP World History class at Toledo Islamic Academy. A good and thoughtful young man who took to heart the goal TIA sought for all its students: "Be a pillar of your community."

Such a huge loss for his family, department and community. Perhaps this loss will inspire everyone to respect law enforcement and the job they have to do. Officers are real people with real families and their sacrifice is very real. God rest your soul young man, you are a true hero.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
Abraham Lincoln
