Protect

“When you overhear from a Parkland doctor, ‘If I ever have a heart attack I hope I’m in Farmers Branch when it happens,’ you know you’re in capable hands with the FB Fire Department. Our Police Department is equally effective and highly visible. We have the deepest appreciation for the dedicated professionals we have looking out for us every hour of every day.”

In Eternal Rest

  • I never dreamed it would be me.
  • My name for all of eternity.
  • Recorded here at this hallowed place.
  • Alas, my name, no more my face.
  • "In the Line of Duty", I hear them say.
  • My family now the price to pay.
  • My folded flag stained with their tears.
  • We only had those few short years.
  • The badge no longer on my chest.
  • I sleep now in eternal rest.
  • My sword I pass to those behind
  • and pray they keep this thought in mind.
  • I never dreamed it would be me
  • and with a heavy heart and bent knee.
  • I ask for all here from the past...
  • Dear God, let my name be the last.
