(in memory of Thomas Walker Lemay, end of watch 4-19-2026)
The badge he bravely wore
was a sign of the courage
his very soul truly wore.
He risked it all daily
to protect the defenseless.
His death seems senseless.
He became a martyr
for the defenseless.
He continues to stand for,
even in death, for law and order.
He was a hero, at his core.
His watch may have ended,
but his legacy has just begun.
He continues to stand for,
even in death, for law and order.
