Your heroism and service is honored today, the 75th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Patrol Officer Edmonds, yesterday marked the 70th anniversary of your tragic death. To lose you so close to Christmas must have been heart wrenching for your wife and five children but you died a hero that they could be proud of. Thank you for your service to the Commonwealth. May God Bless you and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
