Officer Wenjian Liu and Officer Rafael Ramos
Two days ago, two young men, two men who gallantly protected the freedoms many of us take for granted were senselessly, needlessly assassinated in cold blood by a coward, a being who cannot even be called a man because what he did was not manly, it was a cowardly unwarranted attack on two men who were working overtime and eating lunch while wearing the uniform of the NYPD.
These heroes, Officer Wenjian Liu, was married just two months ago. Officer Rafael Ramos had two sons.
Ramos and Liu were shot with “no warning, no provocation” shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday as they sat in their patrol car in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn by the lowest form of humanity. I will not even mention his name here, as he does not deserve to have his name mentioned in the same thought as these two heroes.
As the son of a 29 year police veteran, let me tell you from a child’s point of view about these heroes.
My pop, or as he was known, “Joe the Cop” came into my life years after my father passed away when I was not yet three years old.
He was my big brother, my best friend, my priest, my rabbi, my teacher my role model. He made me the man I am. He passed away in 1999, but is still with me every day!
Policemen leave their house every day, and their family members realize that they may not come home. These heroes realize that when they kiss their wife, their children, or their parents goodbye, it may be for the last time.
They realize that in this profession, the calling in which they chose to protect us, there may be no tomorrow.
But to be ambushed and assassinated by a “coward” who bragged moments before that he was about to kill two policemen is not what they signed up for. There are Two More Heroes in Heaven this Christmas.
When you eat lunch today, tomorrow or the next day, remember that is all these two heroes, Officer Wenjian Liu and Officer Rafael Ramos were doing!
On behalf of all the sons and daughters of all the men and women who serve this great nation of ours, as members of Police Departments all over the country, I am asking you to please take two minutes to honor these two heroes and send a check to the NYC PBA Widows and Children’s Fund.
NYC PBA Widows and Children’s Fund, and send it to the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, 125 Broad Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10004-2400.
There are Two More Heroes in Heaven this Christmas.
Thank you,
Steve Castleton, son of “Joe the Cop”
