I am also going, went last year and swore I'd go every year from now on. For anyone who has never been, I HIGHLY recommend making the trip!

I've been every year for the past 5. I always go for the candle light vigil and stay for a day or two. Even if you go not knowing anyone it is a good time. I'm not sure if I'll go this year. It depends on how much OT I get to pay for it.

I don't know where you guys are staying, but the MA Fraternal Order of Police has a block of rooms right on the strip that are cheap money. You can easily fit 3-5 people comfortably because they are suites. If your interested you can contact the state lodge at www.massfop.org for more information. I have never been, but I am hoping to make it this year. Hope to see you all there.

Flags to be flown at half-staff on May 15th, Peace Officers Memorial Day

Residents, businesses, governments reminded to honor America's fallen law enforcement heroes

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Tuesday, May 15 - Peace Officers Memorial Day - flags across the United States are to be flown at half-staff in remembrance of the nearly 18,000 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in our nation's history.
This tribute to American law enforcement is part of the historic crime bill signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994. At the request of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, Public Law 103-322 designates Peace Officers Memorial Day as one of only two days during which all residents, businesses and government agencies are required to lower their U.S. flags. The other day with this honor is Memorial Day, which commemorates those who died in military service to the country.
"Lowering flags on Peace Officers Memorial Day is an appropriate way to show our respect for those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice and to remember the family, friends and colleagues they left behind," said Craig W. Floyd, NLEOMF chairman. "It also is an important reminder of the continued service and sacrifice of the 800,000 law enforcement officers who protect our communities and safeguard our democracy day in and day out."
In 1962, President John Kennedy designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day. The calendar week in which May 15 falls is National Police Week, with this year's commemoration on May 13-19.
As part of National Police Week, the names of 145 law enforcement officers killed in 2006, as well as 237 others who died in prior years, will be formally dedicated on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., during the 19th Annual Candlelight Vigil on the evening of May 13.

Wreathlaying Ceremony


Following a touching Peace Officers Memorial Day ceremony at the US Capitol Tuesday afternoon, representatives of the Fraternal Order of Police and the FOP Auxiliary moved to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial for a Wreathlaying Ceremony. The brief but solemn ceremony included a prayer for law enforcement officers and somber bagpipe music. America has commemorated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day
since 1963 and the week in which May15 falls as National Police Week. The ceremony at the Capitol paid special tribute to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty during 2006. President Bush personally spoke with each of the families of those officers during an event that lasted more than four hours. Among the fallen officers honored was Honolulu Police Officer Steve Favela, a 30-year-old father of four, who died last November in a motorcycle accident while escorting the President's motorcade on Hickham Air Force Base.


Officer of the Month Awards Ceremony


The NLEOMF's Officers of the Month for 2006 were recognized during a special luncheon ceremony on May 14. Each of the 2006 awardees was presented with a replica statue of one of lions that grace the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, along with a complimentary gift card to join the Officer Roll Call program. Guest speaker Karen Tandy, Administrator of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, spoke of the passion of law enforcement officers for their work. She reminded them that countless lives have had different, and positive, outcomes because of their hard work and service. The NLEOMF instituted the Officer of the Month program in September 1996 to recognize federal, state and local law enforcement officers who distinguish themselves through exemplary service. The 2007 Officer of the Month program is supported by a generous contribution from THE FORCE.

12th Annual Emerald Society & Pipeband March





Processing to the familiar sounds of bagpipes and drums, dozens of pipebands and honor guards arrived at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial on Monday afternoon for the Twelfth Annual Emerald Society & Pipeband March and Service. Organized by the National Conference of Law Enforcement Emerald Societies, the march is a National Police Week tradition that brings units from different parts of the country together for music, remembrance and fellowship. This year's service featured remarks by New Haven (CT) Police Chief Francisco Ortiz, Monmouth County (NJ) Prosecutor Luis Valentin and Craig W. Floyd, Chairman and CEO of the NLEOMF. Chairman Floyd shared with the group an email he had received from a retired Cherry Hill (NJ) police officer now serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The officer promised that US police officers and their Afghan brothers would hold a special Peace Officers Memorial Day service, complete with bagpipes, before May 15 even arrived on the East Coast of the US ... a promise he subsequently confirmed with a follow-up email.
