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 “it’s 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.

Amanda, bless your heart. Rest in Peace my friend. Prayers going out to you, your family both at home and at your facility. I too lost a brother Law Enforcement Officer at the hands of a 15 year old. My hopes are the 15 year old in this case is tried as an adult and convicted never to hurt anyone again.
