The Fredericksburg Police Department while very appreciative of PGR declined to extend PGR’s tribute to the family of Officer Bar. This was out of respect to the family (one less question to explain) and to a local LE bike group that participated in the services. All of the PGR posts and readiness to serve were deeply appreciated.
Respectfully,
Robbie

A Fredericksburg Police Officer Todd Bahr, 40, a member of the city force for just under two years was killed late last night (Jun 6) responding to domestic disturbance incident fueled by a suspect’s apparent obsession with a former girlfriend.
Initial contacts have been made, if invited by the family PGR District 6 Ride Captain will coordinate with the Blue Knights.

Don't think of him as gone away...
his journey's just begun;
life holds so many facets...
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know, today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost...
and he was loved so much.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Officer Todd Bahr.
May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. For his
unselfish dedication to Protect and Defend the citizens of his
community he is a hero
and will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Todd.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Final Inspection
The officer stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,officer.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the officer waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,officer
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Todd Bahr. You will be missed “Brother”.
“The Badge”
(and those that wear it)
By: Terry Longpre
They put on and adjust their uniforms so neat,
And most carry their Badge over their hearts.
They adjust their hats and strap on their guns,
They are the heros, they are the ones.
They are our brothers, sisters, mothers and dads,
They are our neighbors and our friends.
They are cousins, uncles and aunts,
And they are ones that listen to our rants.
They are young and they are old,
Most went to college, some did not.
Some are tall and some are small,
But they wear the Badge, one and all.
They place themselves in the line of fire,
They even sometimes rise our ire.
And yet they seek those out who want to do us harm,
But they walk the "Thin Blue Line", arm in arm.
They might be shot or hit by a car,
And some might be knifed in a bar.
They work all night and during the day,
And in courtrooms it seems they stay.
Most wear uniforms, some don’t,
Most will retire, some won’t.
Most have short hair, some have none,
But all carry a Badge and a gun.
Be it silver or gold,
Be it a star, shield, new or old.
Their Badge they will always respectfully hold.
They do things we can’t contemplate,
They protect us from the daily chaos.
They go home tired, sometimes crying,
Some don’t go home due to dying.
To Serve and Protect is their pledge,
One day you may see them talking to someone on a ledge.
And their Badge they wear so proudly,
Yet, you won’t hear they speaking very loudly.
They have wives, husbands and children at home,
All families hope that late night phone call doesn’t come.
There are bills to be paid, which may require a second job,
Yet they still go to work to face a noisy mob.
When you see someone in Law Enforcement,
Give them a smile and shake their hand.
They have given an oath to protect what we have,
They are dedicated to protect our land.
May God Bless them one and all,
For only He knows when they may fall.
