Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Patrolman Meyers,
On today, the 75th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I was 18 months old when my father was killed, so I had no personal memory of him. But 65 years later [to the day]
the Borough of Hawthorne honored my father by naming a street in his honor and a Memorial Monument by the Police Station. I will remember that day forever.
