Michael, your tour of duty here is finished. Your fellow officers will take over your patrol with honor, dignity, and valor. You're God's good and faithful servant. Enter now into the joy of the Lord.

This is the greatest honor I've ever had and the hardest thing I've ever done.

Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.

People from smaller communities and rural areas have maintained a much stronger sense of traditional dignity and notions of honor - not dissimilar to those of Latin American Catholics. I really don't think that it's a matter of religion - it's about cultures and practices.

Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.

It's really an honor to help raise a memorial for the guys who fell in the line of duty.
