Honor Roll

The Trooper’s Creed

I am what others did not want to be
I went where others feared to go,
risk and danger my constant companion.
I have seen the face of terror;
felt the sting of cold fear and enjoyed
the sweet taste of a moment’s love.
I have helped people in times of stress
and subdued others in times of trouble.
I have cried, loved and hoped,
but most of all
have honored my commitment
to serve and protect
for which I have paid the ultimate sacrifice
in the name of service above self.
I am a Kentucky State Trooper.
