First he takes the oath now look at all he takes
He takes it in stride when people call him pig
He takes time to stop and talk to children
He takes your verbal abuse while giving you a ticket you deserved
He takes on creeps you would be afraid to even look at
He takes time away from his family to keep you safe
He takes your injured children to the hospital
He takes the graveyard shift without complaint because its his turn
He takes his life into his hands daily
He takes you home when your car breaks down
He takes time to explain why both your headlights have to work
He takes the job no one else wants -telling you a loved one has died
He takes criminals to jail
He takes in sights that would make you cry sometimes he cries too,
But he takes it anyway, because someone has to
If he is lucky, he takes retirement
He takes memories to bed each night that you couldnt bear for even one day
Sometimes he takes a bullet and yes, he may take a cup of coffee
Then one day he pays for all he has taken,
and God takes him
| Quote: | In every American community, committed law enforcement officers watch over our neighborhoods and work to make our Nation a safer, more peaceful place. As we observe Peace Officers' Memorial Day and Police Week, we honor the men and women who serve the cause of justice, and we pay tribute to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
By taking an oath to serve and protect their fellow citizens, law enforcement officers answer a vital calling and accept a profound responsibility. These extraordinary Americans work to uphold our laws and serve on the front lines in the fight against crime and terrorism.
We owe a lasting debt to those who sacrificed their lives while serving and protecting our fellow citizens. These fallen officers live on in our national memory as Americans whose courage and commitment have shown the true meaning of heroism. We offer our respect and prayers to their loved ones.
- President Bush

A salute to those and the families of those who have fallen in the line of duty.
