| The "Thin Blue Line" just got thinner with the loss of another LEO Brother. May God bless and comfort the family, friends and LEO comrades of Sgt. Robert Johnsey. Know that he will be always remembered as a Hero, as our Defender, as our Protector, and his passing leaves us all diminished. Robert, I salute your for your service, your courage, your diligence....I know you are being welcomed by many who have been waiting for you and who have prepared a special place for you to rest in peace. Would that I could be there to stand for you, but I will be there in spirit and will oause a moment to pay my respect and honor your time with us. |

I would like to thank those of you who showed up today to honor Sgt Johnsey. Everyone met at the staging area and we left on time to head to our assigned spot for a flag line. We were able to park on one side of the street and line up on the other. As we were waiting for the procession to come by some Portland Police officers came by and took pictures of us with our bikes. We had 8 bikes and two cages not bad for such short notice. Right before the procession passed by we lined up and Carl called us to attention. The Portland Police were very appreciative of our presence. Thanks again to all who came.
