Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“ uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place. As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say its ok you’re with your eternal partners. A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

What can be said of what happened? I wish there was, in some way, something that could take the pain away for the loss that our law enforcement family is feeling and the hole left in all our hearts. We can take some comfort in knowing that you died a hero, facing danger and charging head on in the protection of others. Thank you for your service and making the ultimate sacrifice. God Speed Deputy Taylor, you are gone but will never be forgotten.
