COPS Walk to Wall DC 2025

Sharing some images from the COPS Walk to the Wall DC 2025. 

It sure was special to end at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Wall. Even better to have lunch with Dad. 

Next up is the 2026 COPS Walk Southwest in February 2026.

Here was information from the 2025 COPS Walk to the Wall DC in October 2025. 

I have volunteered at several past COPS Walks SW and Harper’s Ferry. I am honored to have you come along on my first actual walk.
