In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as "Police Week". Every year since, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, DC to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The first official memorial service took place on May 15, 1982. On that date, approximately 125 people gathered in Senate Park to honor 91 law enforcement officers. Over the past 22 years we have honored over 3,000 law enforcement officers from around our nation. Today, the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service has become one in a series of events which includes the Candlelight Vigil, which is sponsored by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) and seminars sponsored by Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS).

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial honors all of America's federal, state, and local law enforcement officers.

Inscribed on the Memorial's blue-gray marble walls are the names of more than 15,000 officers who have been killed in the line of duty.

To all involved in Law Enforcement - we salute you!!!

Here's one for all our law enforcement friends out there:

In all seriousness though, one of my best friends is a Philly cop, and the stories he tells me are just insane. What these people go through on a daily basis to protect us definately deserves praise. Thank you all (as long as you don't give me any tickets

)

And for all those who are no longer with us. I wear a silver bracelet and last night at Mo's kitty asked me what it was, she thought it was one of those medical alert braclets. My neighbor's grandson, a Port Authority police officer, was killed at the WTC. The bracelet has his name and PAPD on it and I've been wearing it for 2 1/2 years.
