National Police Memorial Week
The Week of May 15th Annually
National Law Enforcement
Memorial
Washington, D.C.
May 15th is National Police Officer's Memorial Day in the United States.
It is the only holiday, other than Memorial Day, where the Stars and Stripes
of the United States of America are to be lowered to half staff without
any special action from the Congress or other legislative body.
We believe that everyday should be seen as Police Officers Memorial Day.
No day should pass where the memory of the thousands of officers that gave
their lives should go without mention in our prayers. And no day should
pass where the thoughts of those officers currently serving their communities
across this nation should not be in our prayers.
The men and women of law enforcement are known as the "thin
blue line". This line has been bent, abused, attacked, and
criticized, but it has NEVER BEEN BROKEN!
Take a moment to remember and to look ahead, and say a prayer for the officer
in blue.
"Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God."
Matthew 5:9
