Reflections for Officer / Paramedic Bruce Wesley Harrolle
In February, I finally had a chance to get an etching of Bruce’s name on the memorial wall in DC. I never met him, but because I was the dispatcher working the radio the afternoon of Bruce’s accident, he played a large part in shaping who I've become. As another anniversary approaches, I'll be saying prayers for Bruce and his family.

It's the seven year anniversary of a fallen hero. Trooper Harrolle paid the ultimate sacrifice saving two stranded citizens in Northern Arizona. His legacy and memory lives on as his family continues to fight for the survivor benefits of fallen officers in Arizona. He would be proud of his wife Angela. We miss you brother!! I will serve you every day.

You are always remembered. The daring rescues that would have most seasoned patrol officers terrified hanging from a helicopter on a motorized cable line to rescue others on a regular basis. You saved countless lives and we are so grateful! Thank you Officer / Medic Harolle.

Officer/Paramedic Harrolle,
Thank you for saving the people you had the time to save. Those people you chose to save should be very thankful. You could've left those people there and worried about yourself, but your a great man so you worried about the hikers instead. Thank you for your service. Hope to see you up there.

Angela,
It was soo good to meet you after the tragic death of Loren. Thanks for being there for Kirby and the family and please thank the 100 Club for all that they have done. It almost feels impossible that it will soon be 3 years since Bruce was taken from us, stay strong.

To the family of Bruce Harrolle:
My name is Ryan Winfield and I am a detective with Glendale PD in Arizona. I have the honor and privilege of riding for Bruce in the 2009 Police Unity Tour which is a 250 mile bicycle ride from Virginia to Washington, DC. It is the largest fundraiser for the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial in DC. I will be in DC during Police Week and I will be there for the vigil. I would like to meet with you while in DC if at all possible because I have a gift to give you from the Police Unity Tour. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you!
Respectfully,
