Come visit us - Tree Unveiling!

The NLEOMF is spreading some good cheer this holiday season in a couple programs to boost the spirit of giving in the DC area and around the country.

Tree Unveiling - 4 PM, Tuesday, Dec. 2

On Tuesday, Dec. 2, we're working with DC's Metropolitan Police Department to kick off MPD's Holiday Toy Drive with a Tree Unveiling at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Visitors Center on 400 7th Street NW, Washington DC.

We'll have food, music, and fun for all our law enforcement supporters.

It's a great chance to meet us, for us to meet you, for you to meet each other, and to get in gear for the holidays, as we'll start collecting toys at the Visitors Center for DC's kids in need.

With the economy as it is, requests for assistance and gifts for children are coming in at high volume at MPD, and the NLEOMF wants to help. And, we want to celebrate the season with you!

"In Honor of" Holiday Remembrance

The holidays can be a difficult time for friends, families and supporters of law enforcement officers. The NLEOMF wants to give people all over the country a chance to remember their loved ones this holiday season at the NLEOM Visitors Center. Call the Visitors Center during the month of December and tell us the officer you want to honor, and we'll post a special paper ornament with your name and his/her name in our Visitors Center for display. The officer you'd like to honor can be a fallen hero or a living legend. We request a minimum donation of $1, to go to the Memorial and Museum. We hope to cover the entire NLEOM Visitors Center in paper ornaments this year - a tribute to America's finest.

Visitors Center #: 866-569-4928 or 202-737-3212
