Today is Peace Officer Memorial Day, and our association is pausing to honor it the right way.
On October 1, 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Public Law 87-726, officially designating May 15 as the day this nation recognizes law enforcement personnel killed or disabled in the line of duty. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, an average of 150 to 160 law enforcement professionals are killed in the line of duty every year in the United States.
In observance of this day, we are running a fundraising drive. Financial stability for surviving families is not a bonus. It is a responsibility we take seriously.

Some losses are too large to fully comprehend. Today is Children of Fallen Patriots Day, and it asks us to sit with one of those losses for a moment.
An estimated 25,000 children have lost a parent in military service over the last 35 years. May 13 was selected as the observance date because it marks the establishment of Arlington National Cemetery in 1864, a permanent reminder of what military service can cost. The Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation has awarded over 82 million dollars in scholarships to more than 4,000 of these children since 2002.
Our association understands what it means to lose someone in the line of duty. We stand with these families today and encourage our community to do the same.

Happy Cinco de Mayo to every family in our community celebrating today.
The date marks something worth knowing. On May 5, 1862, a Mexican army of roughly 4,000 soldiers defeated a French force of more than 6,000 at the Battle of Puebla under General Ignacio Zaragoza. The French army had not suffered a major battlefield defeat in nearly 50 years before that day. It became one of the most celebrated moments in Mexican military history and a symbol of resilience that carries forward to this day.
Our members are out on patrol making sure every celebration in this community stays safe so families can enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
