Officer Down Memorial

**CDesmondO** · 01-28-2009, 03:18 PM

I decided that since us Military and LOE have our own relaxing place on the forums, I would like to have a small memorial section. If you have lost a friend or family member in the line of duty feel free to memorialize them here.

I will start, my cousin Derek was killed in the line of duty last year.

I hope I am doing this right. Good idea with this thread. I would like to add my personal friend and partner from beginning until end William Preslar. My friend tragically lost his life in a car accident en -route to back one of our officers in need of help. It was so hard for me to say goodbye to him. To this day I still can't beleive he is no longer with us down here. I do know he is watching over the rest of us Men/Women in blue and he will continue to protect. My prayers go out to all of us that have lost someone in the line of duty.

I went to high School with Frank and played football with him. He was a great person and will be greatly missed. Officer White that took fire has recovered but was not medically cleared to return to full duty. The department has opend a joint position with New Albany P.D. C.S.I and he is now one of the evidence collection officers. I never thought that I would be attending a funeral for a school mate, in my home town, as an officer after I moved.

The suspect, who was using a high-powered, World War II relic M-1 Garand rifle, struck Officer Denzinger with a second round between the side panels of his bullet-resistant vest, before the other officer was able to return fire into the home. Officer Denzinger was transported to University Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, where he succumbed to his wounds. The other officer was seriously wounded, but survived.

The suspect was found six hours later inside the residence having committed suicide.

Officer Denzinger had served with the Floyd County Sheriff's Office for four years. He was survived by his wife, 2-year-old daughter, parents and two sisters.

This is a friend of mine that was killed in Iraq in 2005. I had known Jeff since we were freshmen back in 1994, there's a ton I could say about him but I'll be brief. Some of you know my background but for those who do not: my father is a police officer, for more than 30 years now, and I have spent more than 10 years in the US Navy, 9 1/2 active and 14 months reserve

. Every time I hear of an officer or service member falling, I can empathize.

Marine Cpl. Jeffrey A. Boskovitch

25, of Seven Hills, Ohio; assigned to 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, Brook Park, Ohio; attached to Regimental Combat Team 2, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward); killed Aug. 1 by small-arms fire while conducting dismounted operations outside Haditha, Iraq. Also killed were Marine Lance Cpl. Roger D. Castleberry Jr., Marine Sgt. David J. Coullard, Marine Lance Cpl. Daniel N. Deyarmin Jr., Marine Lance Cpl. Brian P. Montgomery and Marine Sgt. Nathaniel S. Rock.

When Cpl. Jeff Boskovitch returned from Iraq, he had a lot of planning to do for his Oct. 14, 2006, wedding.
Boskovitch, 25, of North Royalton, set the date with his fiancee, Shelly Tevis of Brunswick, when they spoke on Saturday.
An aspiring police officer, Boskovitch was a role model for his 42 cousins and a driven Marine, family members said.
“He had the biggest heart in the world,” said his uncle, Dan Boskovitch. “He was just a great kid.”
The members of the sniper unit were close, his uncle said. Boskovitch declined a promotion because he wanted to stay with the unit.
Boskovitch, who graduated from Normandy High School in 1999, had completed the law enforcement program at Cuyahoga Community College and worked with the Geauga County sheriff, his uncle said.
Died:
August 01, 2005

This is actually Jeff's Soldiers Cross from a pic taken at his memorial that I had tattooed on my leg 2 years ago.
