Thursday, May 15

Today is Thursday, May 15.
This is National Peace Officers Memorial Day.
It's hard to believe, but since they began keeping records, more than 19,000 police officers have died in the line of duty.
Locally, 36 officers have lost their lives while serving and protecting us.
Take a few minutes and go down to the memorial service. It begins at 10:00am this morning at the Sheriff's office at 600 Market Street.
And while you're there, pick out an officer or two...shake hands or give 'em a hug....and say "Thanks".
