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.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Alaska State Troopers. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.

I don't have the words to express my sorrow to my brothers with the Alaska State Troopers. This morning we had our annual spring memorial for the fallen Troopers here in South Carolina and our Director asked for a moment of silence for the Troopers in Alaska. My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families of these fine officers, may they rest in peace. God Bless.
