Time to come home dear brother
Your tour of duty through
You've given as much as anyone
Could be expected to do

Just a few steps further
The smoke will start to clear
Others here will guide you
You have no need to fear

You have not failed your brothers
You clearly gave it all
And through your selfless actions
Others will hear the call

So take your place of honor
Among those who have gone before
And know you will be remembered
From now and evermore

I am heartbroken that all of us have lost another Hero during such a tragedy. Officer Flattes accepted the call to stand between us and danger. For that I am eternally Grateful. Lord His Wife, Family, Fellow Officers and Friends will need Your Grace to carry them in the days to come. The Blue Lines these Heros walk is very Thin. God Bless You All!!!
