Reflections for Sergeant Fredrick T. Coleman, Sr.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

PROTECTORS PRAYER

LORD, YOU HAVE ALREADY WON THE BATTLES I WILL FACE TODAY.

I REST IN YOUR SOVEREIGNTY KNOWING YOU HAVE APPOINTED ME
FOR THIS DUTY.

THE POWER THAT CREATED EVERYTHING LIVES IN ME THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT, LET ME FEAR NOTHING.

GIVE ME THE COURAGE OF DAVID, THE STRENGHT OF SAMSON, WISDOM SOLOMON AND THEGRACE OF YOUR SON, JESUS.

WHILE I AM AWAY PROTECT MY FAMILY, LET ME RETURN UNHARMED. PREPARE THEIR HEARTS SHOULD TODAY BE THE DAY I MEET YOU FACE TO FACE.

LET ME SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THIS BLESSED COUNTRY AND COMMUNITY WITH A SERVANT'S HEART; BEING QUICK TO LISTEN, SLOW TO SPEAK, AND SLOW TO BECOME ANGRY.

LORD YOU HAVE GIVEN ME GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. HELP ME TO PROTECT THE VULNERABLE AND INNOCENT.

WHEN THE MOMENT CALLS, ALLOW ME TO SHOW COMPASSION AND HUMILITY TO THOSE WHO CROSS MY PATH.

WHEN FACED WITH EVIL, LET MY ACTIONS BE DEFINITIVE, IMPERTIAL, AND ABOVE REPROACH.

PROTECT MY BROTHER TO MY LEFT AND MY SISTER TO MY RIGHT AS WE RESPOND FEARLESSLY, WITHOUT HESITATION TO THE UNKNOWN

FOR HIS GLORY

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

The sacrifice of your fallen colleague serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that come with your line of duty.
