So sorry from the sister of the first LEO this year to die in the line of duty-William L. Wright EOW-4/11/12.
We know the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness you are feeling right now because we have been feeling it since April. Let God give you comfort and mercy as only he can and know your loss is only heaven's gain and someday you will be together again. We will keep you in our prayers and thank you sir for the wonderful job you did.

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.
