Honoring Georgia's Fallen 1st Responders { A thru D }



Since U.S. Marshal Robert Forsyth was shot and killed on January 11, 1794,

while serving a civil warrant near Augusta, Georgia,

634 Georgians

have fallen in the line of duty

serving as

Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, Corrections Officers, Emergency Medical Technicians and Emergency Management Agency Personnel.

Listed below in these four Posts are the names

of those we pause to honor and remember

for their devotion to duty and service

to the citizens of Georgia and Georgia's communities.





GENERAL INFORMATION


The Georgia Public Safety Memorial proudly displays the names of all those brave men and women honored for their dedication and sacrifice to the citizens of the State of Georgia. Above the names that are etched in granite is the theme of the Memorial, "WITH HONOR THEY SERVED". Each of the individuals listed did just that. They served with HONOR, with COURAGE, with DIGNITY, and with concern for their fellow man.

The earliest known line of duty death in our State, and for that matter the entire country, occurred January 11, 1794. A U.S. Marshal named Robert Forsyth was shot and killed while serving a civil warrant near Augusta. Marshal Forsyth was one of the original 13 U.S. Marshals appointed by President George Washington.



But this is only part of the story. At the time of his death, Marshal Forsyth had a 14 year old son named John. John Forsyth, this son of a slain Georgia law enforcement officer, was elected Governor of Georgia in 1827. And, in 1834, he was appointed Secretary of State by President Andrew Jackson and served in that capacity for seven years. As a result, both Forsyth County and the City of Forsyth were named after Robert Forsyth's son. It is quite ironic, but altogether appropriate, that the Georgia Public Safety Memorial which proudly bears the name of Robert Forsyth will be forevermore located in the community named in honor of his son.





Public Safety Memorial

DEDICATED JUNE 10, 1997

The Georgia Public Safety Memorial was established to recognize Georgia's Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, Corrections Officers, Emergency Medical Technicians and Emergency Management Agency Personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty. These brave men and women were dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, the protection of life and property and the proud tradition of the public safety services. The people of Georgia are eternally grateful to those who have sacrificed so much.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for a friend."John 15:13

1/2 Man - 1/2 Boy, an American hero!


1/2 Man - 1/2 Boy


an American hero


all day, 24/7,


for our freedom!



The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's, but he has never collected unemployment either.



My kind of a man, my kind of an American !

He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer.

He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must.

He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional.

He can march until he is told to stop, or stop until he is told to march.

-------------------------------------------------------------

He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient.

He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry.

He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts.

If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low.

He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands.

He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job.

He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all.

He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime.




Just another day at work !

For his country, and fellow Americans !


He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed.

He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away ' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking.

In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful.

Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great- grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.




Always prepared to do his duty !

He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.

And now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so.

As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot. . . A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their helmets.




REST WELL DESERVED,

It's not like home,

but it is duty to protect those at home !







Prayer wheel for our military... please don't break it!

Please share this with others at

after a short prayer.

God bless America !
