Who could ever be a greater/more excellent hero than USOAPOA Hawaii Police Officer Suzanne O. I don’t know. how much more COL (crying out loud) I can take. I’ve been listening to the same song, “For What It’s Worth” now for more than an hour while writing my reflections for these past eight Fallen Heroes.

"Somebody killed a policeman today,
And a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
It happened in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now, his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call and gave us his all,
And a part of America died."

Breaks my heart to know, even in the paradise we escape to, warriors are needed. Have been in that area so many times. So sorry for your loss, but grateful for your service. I wrote this years ago, pondering a question: We refer to the men as "an officer and a gentleman", how do we refer to the brave women in our ranks who are also making the ultimate sacrifice?

LADY WARRIOR

Somebody somewhere called you
daughter, or sister
Perhaps somebody somewhere called you
mom
I suppose somebody somewhere called you
lover
And the loss they feel, no doubt’s at least as strong

But Lady Warrior
Is how I came to know you
Sister Soldier
Is who you were to me
Lady Warrior
That fire that burned within you
Was the same warrior fire
That burns inside of me

You fought beside me
In the mountains and the valleys
You stood beside me
In the heat of the fire
You walked beside me
Down those darkest streets and alleys
Full of courage, and strength, and warrior fire

And Lady Warrior
Is how I came to know you
Sister Soldier
Is who you were to me
Lady Warrior
That fire that burned within you
Was the same warrior fire
That burns inside of me

Another warrior
Has fallen in the battle
A brave soldier
Has paid the final price
Another hero
Gave her life as a reminder
That freedom only comes
Through sacrifice

Warrior
Is how I came to know you
Soldier
Is who you were to me
Lady Warrior
That fire that burned within you
Trust that your warrior fire
Burns on inside of me

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
