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.

Ecclesiasstes 8:11 Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set within them to do evil.
8:12 Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I also know that it will be well with the God-fearing who are in fear before Him;
8:13 But it will not be well with the wicked man, nor will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he is not in fear before God.
