Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

So sad...have enjoyed the helpfulness and protection of rangers when visiting our national parks. Their role is so important and appreciated....always cheerful, informative and helpful...sometimes it is easy to forget they are law enforcement. My heart & prayers go out to her family.

We hope that peace can be restored and justice served.

Ranger Anderson, may God receive you into His arms with grace. The world (& Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park) was better for your having been here.

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.
