  • To the families of Slain Officers; Rafael Ramos, Wenjian Liu and the Men and Women of the New York Police Department.....I offer to all of you my sincere condolences for your loss....Being a retired Marine and Law Enforcement Officer... I know the pain and grief that losing officers in the line of duty can be as I've been there too many times, but sustained your purpose, focus on profound professionalism and call to duty as you carry on your traditions as the finest police department in the world-"you are the best there is in a City so large and encompassing so many people, but you do it well"....God speed!!!
