This week is National Police Memorial Week.
I’ve spent the past few months dealing with an old illness and some aspects of a new one. When thinking about all the many things Law Enforcement officers do for us, it occurred to me that oftentimes officers will willingly work through injuries, illness and pain just so that there is always someone who will be available to come to our aid when called to do so.
For one week out of the year, we have an opportunity to set aside our difficulties and reflect on the sacrifices those officers make for us every day of the year. Throughout Police Memorial Week we have an opportunity to let officers know how much we appreciate them and that we realize their importance in our lives. Let’s make time to let them know we care and are grateful to them by writing a note of thanks, or dropping off a thank you card, or perhaps a visit to say thank you in person.

We even remind the local police that it is Police Week (sometimes they forget).
During Police Week, I plan to do a series of posts about the importance of supporting the police and generally a few observations about them. I’ll be speaking from the heart so you’ll find out just how ignorant I was about the police. I actually think that’s a good thing though.
During Police Week, I know many are remembering Fallen Officers at the Washington National ceremony and at state ceremonies. Be safe on your trips there and back. Remember you are in our thoughts during this week.
