“So nigh is grandeur to our dust,
So near is God to man,
When Duty whispers low, 'Thou must,'
The youth whispers, 'I can.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emerson

Sean, you did. You will always be remembered for saying "I can."

Rest well, Officer Collier, your sacrifice saved many lives and set into motion the events that ended their cowardly attacks. Whether the bombs were meant for the campus itself or another target, you prevented them from having the time to harm those whose lives you swore to protect. A hero's welcome awaits you.

Endless thanks to you and to the MIT Police for protecting the entire MIT community. Your kindness and sacrifice will never be forgotten. My sincere condolences to the Collier family.

The MIT police are true community police in the best sense - protecting the bubble of MIT from the world without and creating a place safe from the demons so we can pursue our better angels. It is a terrible tragedy that Officer Collier lost his life literally guarding that line and keeping the campus safe. I hope his family, friends and fellow officers find some solace in this time of grief.

It's your time to rest in paradise, we will continue to serve and protect our schools, cities, and counties throughout the United States and I will never forget your courage and sacrifice. God Bless You & Your Family.
