VERSE Was a soldier, she was a friend Was a protector, on who we could depend She was a woman as tough as nails With a heart of gold that would not fail VERSE She was a hero, came on the run The shots rang out, she shed her blood The town fell silent, no songbird sang "Gone but not forgotten", the church bells rang CHORUS And we can only wonder why The good ones die before their time Angel wings I'm sure she'll find A reward for The Ultimate Sacrifice VERSE She was a leader, helped keep us strong She was a teacher. taught us right from wrong Just like a lighthouse, she showed the way A lovin' beacon that will shine always CHORUS TAG The Ultimate Sacrifice Angel wings I'm sure she'll find "The Ultimate Sacrifice", (Kimball) inspired by the tragic death of Mary Ann Collura, Fair Lawn, NJ's first female police officer. An eighteen year veteran, she was gunned down by a drug dealer 4/17/03, when she came to assist a fellow officer. Her killer fled and was tracked down and killed by the Florida police, and the story received national attention. Since her death, Mary Ann has been honored for her bravery and sacrifice by President Bush as well as receiving posthumously the Medal Of Valor from The International Association Of Police Women. Just recently "The Ultimate Sacrifice" was accepted by this world wide police organization as their anthem. In addition, the song has been featured in THE BERGEN RECORD and on Channel 9, WWOR TV.
