Today, the nation pauses to remember and honor its military veterans. When it comes to honoring and remembering the fallen, nobody does it better than the military and law enforcement. The names of 30 brave men and women killed in the line of duty while serving as law enforcement officers, abroad and at home, are engraved on the marble walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
The line between law enforcement and military service is often blurred. Many veterans of foreign wars turn to policing when they come home. Many police officers are military reservists.
This Veteran's Day, leave a tribute to recognize all the countless contributions military and law enforcement officers make each day to protect our country and ensure our freedom.
An inscription on the Memorial sums up the meaning of the heroic and selfless deeds performed by law enforcement and military professionals. It reads: In Valor There is Hope. As long as there are men and women among us who are willing to put their lives at risk for our freedom and safety, there is indeed great hope for the future of our nation and our world.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never .Today our American military is serving across the world to ensure freedom .The Remembering America's Forgotten Veterans Cemetery Act veterans cemeteries in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and the military .
