Our community was shaken this morning when local police officer was shot and killed. Officer Clint Corvinus.
I delve into the men and one woman who not only impacted my decision to go into law enforcement and some that I came to know that sacrifices to serve their communities.
They always knew they could be
They never thought they would be
God knows none ever should be
Killed in the line of duty
Some made their final stand
Their profession’s last demand
They fell with gun in hand
Killed in the line duty
A routine to many a cop
Some made one final stop
Someone’s Mom or Pop
Killed in the line of duty
Others answered one last call
To a robbery, theft, or brawl
They arrived only to fall
Killed in the line of duty
Some were dressed in brown, some blue
Some in gray, and plain clothes too
Some were dressed like me and you
Killed in the line of duty
May their souls be forever blessed
For they who are now at rest
Died doing what they loved best
Killed in the line of duty
Forgotten they never could be
Forgotten they never should be
Thought they never would be
Killed in the line of duty
God bless all those who fell
They are missed and loved so well
Let us pray and toll the bell
Those killed in the line of duty
