We Remember The Officers
 

We remember the officers who changed our lives, 
The men and women who protected us day and night, 
People we respect for their dedication to the cause, 
For when faced with danger, they never even pause. 

We remember the officers who always stood true, 
Whatever the color of uniform, brown gray or blue, 
With pride and integrity they say "To serve and protect", 
For the giving of their life, we offer our respect. 

We remember the officers who we never really knew, 
Persons strong enough to answer the challenge are few, 
With heavy hearts we mourn the officers in eternal rest, 
There's more to these people than the badge on their chest.
