Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dieter F Uchtdorf said " True love requires action. We can speak of love all day long, we can write notes or poems that proclaim it, sing songs that praise it, and preach sermons that encourage it but until we manifest that love in action, our words are nothing but sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal." You manifested your love for freedoms cause and took action in the face of evil. This is the first year I won't be able to visit your grave on memorial day. Being where I am I see the importance of freedom, the importance of standing up to evil and tyranny and saying no more. You are a great example to me Joe. I value the freedoms you gave your life to defend and for that you have my everlasting love and gratitude. I love you brother and I miss you.

Public Safety Memorial is moving along, taking a little longer than we wished but the end product will be awesome. Every part of the project is an Eagle Project, I think that is the best part of it. I miss the fun times we had on patrol. Never Forgotten!

Officer Adams and Family,

Please know how sorry I am. It is still so painful thinking of that tragic day. My family and I still pray for you, your family and friends. I wish I could have been in Lehi honoring you August 4th when they had a ceremony in your name. Your story is not over, not by a long shot! Your sacrifice will not be in vain. There are many things God still has in store for all of us. Thank you Joe for your service. I look forward to visiting the park named after you the next time I visit Utah.
Until then....

Today marks 10 years since Joe was killed in the line of duty. It has been a significant day for our family - as a park in Lehi was named in his honor. We will never forget him, and the importanct part of our family that he is.
His young son represents all that was so good in Joe.
We appreciate so much all those who still remember him and honor him.

A day of reflection as another year has gone by. A void still remains in our hearts, but we hold dear the wonderful memories of a life that was full and one that we learned so much from. We will always miss Joe. We will always love Joe. We pray for all officers of the law as they continue to serve and protect us. We are so grateful to all of you.
