 Songs, Stories & Shenanigans: Today’s Podcast: We Will Never Forget, in a Time We Will Never Forget Songs, Stories & Shenanigans: Today’s Podcast: We Will Never Forget, in a Time We Will Never Forget Ireland lays claims to lots of inventions, including color photography, whiskey distilling, the ejector seat, guided missiles, hypodermic syringe, the modern tractor, the portable defibrillator, rubber-soled shoes, and of course - Guinness.  A tiny part of the big list, but interesting none the less. But to me, being Irish has always involved a great love for and influence by, music. Can you guess who said this:"I started with rock n' roll and...then you start to take it apart like a child with a toy and you see there's blues and there's country...Then you go back from country into American music...and you end up in Scotland and Ireland eventually."                                                            - Mr. Elvis Costello The Irish have always been associated with music. Ireland is the only country in the world to have a musical instrument, the haro, as its national symbol. That’s right, The Harp is the official national symbol of Ireland.  It was played by Brian Boru, one of my forebears, and the last true and now legendary High King, who ruled all Ireland in the 8th & 9th centuries. The harp has been a symbol of Ireland ever since. In 1542, Ireland adopted it as their official symbol. In 1922, the Republic of Ireland adopted a left-facing harp, based on the Trinity College Harp located in the library of Trinity College, in Dublin as its official symbol. It appears on state documents and seals, along with the cover of every Irish passport. The medieval tradition of printing harps on Irish coins also continues into the present, with the left-facing Trinity College Harp featuringon Irish printed Euro. The harp is a tribute symbol, of our history and our bards, our past, and our present.  We have a gift for music, the land of saints and scholars, Bards and lawmen. As you may know, last week was Police Memorial Week. With Covid19, all public ceremony events were cancelled, tho many still observed, and many others were able to watch the smaller ceremonies online.  This is the first time in my 14 years with the Sheriff’s Office that I did not attend, and shoot, the ceremonies.  It has always been such a moving, at times heart-wrenching salute to those we lost, with the message to their loved ones that We Will Never Forget.  They do not walk alone, even tho they have lost a peace officer, Brother or Sister, parent, sibling, child or a loved one in the line of duty. - John F. Kennedy said: Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s own beliefs.  Rather, it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.           To law enforcement and their families and friends from across the United States and Canada and to those from right here in Cuyahoga County that join us each year for the Annual Commemoration ceremony, I send these thoughts. I am honored to recognize and reflect with law enforcement officers and their families on the dedication, the sacrifices and the honor of all officers. I wish to say thank you, and I wish to encourage each of you, to continue to strive, whether an officer or an officer’s loved ones, to not only live up to the code you follow, but to be strengthened by it.  We don’t gather alone; we gather together. We don’t fight for justice alone; we fight for it, together; and most of all, we don’t stand alone, each and every person, stands together. In pain and in joy, in sorrow, celebration or solace, we stand together. Officers wear the badges that represent honor, dignity, truth and justice; families wear those character traits too.  For those who have lost, and for those who step up to secure safety and sooth souls on the streets each day, we stand with you, every day. Sometimes those gifts last a career; sometimes the ultimate sacrifice shows the last full measure of devotion, which can never truly be prepared for.  We usually don’t know why they had to die, but we know them, and what they stand for.   From each other, together, we softly gather those gifts. We remember how they served with honor, they and their families. We remember the joys they brought, and the joys those officers brought them. We remember their smile, and how or what they strived for and against, in their days and nights. We remember most of all that they loved us, and we love them. That will never fade, nor falter. So, let us reflect and remember, looking back and looking forward, guided by what we stand for, together, illuminated so fully and frequently by honor, dignity, truth and justice; illuminated with such love from each of us, and for them and for each other. We stand together, fortified, passionately proud of who they were and who we are. We stand, together. The Greater Cleveland Peace Officers ...
