Law Enforcement Dedication and Appreciation 2018
November found us traveling to Florida. Along the way we stopped at several places dedicated to law enforcement and those heroes killed in the line of duty. Searching out and visiting these places of hallowed ground is part of our continued quest to honor and respect those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I also honor those who choose to do this line of work that is so often thankless.
Many of the regular viewers of my blog know where the love and respect for law enforcement starts for me. Feel free to follow this link to remember or to learn more about my story. My history is not who I am. My history is a part of me and who I have become.
American Police Hall of Fame & Museum
“The American Police Hall of Fame & Museum has been honoring law enforcement officers and their contributions since 1960. In 2003, upon the opening of our new location, a 2000 square ft. Memorial was created to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.”
“Dedicated to the law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, the Memorial serves as a place of remembrance for many families and friends.”
The memorial was another one of those hallowed ground experiences that we find ourselves on during many of our adventures. May they continue for years to come.
Thank you to all law enforcement and first responders!
