"Whenever we talk about police officers who have been killed in the line of duty, we should all keep one thing in mind. They made a judgment. They believed in it so strongly that they knowingly bet their lives and those of others on it. That they may have made an error and their judgment was faulty is a tragedy. Some of us here today had the opportunity to influence their judgment, so a little bit of all of us goes with every officer we lose."
This site is dedicated to those individuals who have been in the "arena."
Man in the Arena - Theodore Roosevelt
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
