I attended the Ohio State Highway Patrol's memorial service for the first time this past May and was moved by the dedication the Patrol has for remembering it's fallen officers. I was also greatly moved by the number of family members who come back year after year to honor their loved ones...some who have died over 50 years ago.

My boyfriend is a trooper with the Ohio State Highway Patrol. I have always been proud of his job and his affiliation with the Patrol, but am even more so after attending the service. People always use the "words" "you will never be forgotten. The family of OSHP live by those words.

Lt. Vance Andrews was my fathers older brother. He died before I was born but he was a very influential part of my life. I remember pictures of my uncle around the house in his partol uniform. But mostly I remember how proud my father was of his brother. One day I traveled to the headquarters of the Ohio State Patrol with my dad and visited the Colonel in charge who used to be a patrolman with my uncle. I was very impressed. My choice of a career in law enforcement was certainly influenced by my Uncle, Lt. Vance Andrews. I will always remember what he met to my father.
