National fallen officer week

[Wicked Color]

This week is National fallen officer week, a week which we honor the sacrifice made by those who gave their lives to stand up for values that make this country great.
We as a society need these selfless individuals who above all else value ethics and law, without which, we would be lost.
There are times when they are not our favorite people, but when we need them most they are also there, ready to serve their duty till death.
Law enforcement I salute you!!! For the sacrifice made, and also to come.

The Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael
Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael

Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,
who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises
of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional
eyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for
investigation and wise judgment.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and
law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores,
strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences
with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not
always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so
pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the
devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your
heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the
throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all
the people. Amen.
