TO PROTECT AND SERVE- OFFICER DOWN
Officer Nick Erfle was killed in the line of duty in the afternoon of his life. He was killed last week while trying to arrest a man for jaywalking. The man was an illegal alien who had been deported once already.
His six year old son wrote him this letter:
Dear Dad I miss you If you wur here we wood uf plade lost of games I wish u have a good time in hevoon Brody.
Brody was a student at the private school that my grandaughter, Summer,attends. There was no school on Monday so that the parents who volunteer at the school with Brody's Mother could attend the services. Brigid, Summer's Mother, took in the children of all of the parents who attended the funeral.
Each day the police put their lives on the line so that we may lead a life and peace and quiet.
After nine-eleven much respect and honor was given to them for their part in our lives but I feel that we must on every occassion that presents itself reach out and thank them for their service.

I have followed the story of Officer Nick Erfle, and continue to be dismaymed at the lack of control we have over the safety of our brave policemen.
While attending a church service last Sunday, the preacher mentioned Nick's name,and asked for a moment of silent prayer for him and his family.
The letter his son wrote is more mature than one would expcet from a
six year old. Simply amazing that he has the thought processes to compose such a send off to his dad.
