Author Topic: The Badge ukcatfannfl Player Member # 1425 posted 07-14-2020 10:32 PM                     A friend and former Chief of Police Miami sent this to me.. so true! The Department, their badge or their shoulder patch doesn't matter. The best and the worst can happen at any time. Reminder of What It Means Timely Reminder of What It Means The Badge Let me tell you about the badge and the thousands of good men and women it represents. This badge ran towards certain death as the Towers collapsed on 9-11. This badge ran into the line of fire to save the people in the Pulse Night Club. This badge sheltered thousands as bullets rained down from the Mandalay Hotel in Las Vegas. This badge protected a BLM rally that left five officers dead in Dallas. This badge ran into the Sandy Hook School to stop a school shooter. This badge killed the Oregon District mass shooter in seconds. This badge has done CPR on your drowned child. This badge has fist fought the wife beater who left his spouse in a coma. This badge has run into burning buildings to save the occupants. This badge has been shot for simply existing. This badge has waded through flood waters to rescue the elderly trapped on the roof. This badge has intentionally crashed into the wrong way driver to protect innocent motorists. This badge has helped find the lost child so his mother would stop crying hysterically. This badge has helped the injured dog off the road and rushed it to the vet. This badge has escorted the elderly woman across the street because she couldn't see well and was afraid to cross. This badge has bought food for hungry kids because they had been abandoned. This badge has been soaked in blood and tears. This badge has been covered by a mourning band to honor those who have sacrificed everything in service. You may hate me because I wear it. But, I wear it with pride. Despite your hate and your anger, I will await the next call for help. And, I will come running without hesitation. Just like the thousands of men and women across this great nation. This badge. ~Unknown Click this link to connect to a tribute remix of the George Strait song, Weight of the Badge, from Charlotte County (FL) SO: https://youtu.be/vL6MKsLei58 -------------------- ukcatfannfl Posts: 8775 | From: Inverness, FL | Registered: Jun 2001  |  IP: Logged MEL Player Member # 141 posted 07-14-2020 11:51 PM                    Amen !!!
