http://support.nleomf.org/site/PageNavigator/CandlelightVigilRegist... This is the link to watch the vigil on May 13 at 8 p.m. That is supposed to be live...Never made it to the entire police weeks events so I'm not sure which this is...But I am sure it is worth watching......

So very beautiful of a vigil, Rest in Peace Fallen Brothers and Sisters, Thank you to all who have served, and those who are actively serving.
If interested go onto the Forum Police Memorial Day/ Police week and talk about your State Memorial Day, share pictures, poems and thoughts. Let's keep it going all thru Police week .
A great way to Honor our Fallen Officers.
God Bless.....

Thank you for putting a light on this Memorial. My brother is on the wall...2005. I will be at every memorial as long as I possibly can. There are still so many who know nothing of this Memorial and the whole week surrounding May 15. Not untill one loses someone does the importance of not forgetting rings so loud. Thank you again and may God bless the NLEOMF and C.O.P.S. for all they have done and will do in the future. Thank you for remembering my little brother.

This is a good thing and our fallen should not be forgooten for the sacrafic that was made.
They need to do a memorial for all the ones that LEO's has taken down for trying to take down LEO's to let the world know that we are not laying down and taking this sacrafic.
LET THE WORLD KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like all officers to recognize the work that COPs ..Concerns of Police Survivors, does for this event as well ...it could not go on without them. the work they do for all survivors is very important. Go to COPS website and see for yourself. They practically hand carry a lot of those survivors through the week..beside all the other things they do ..while there the PSOB donated 1 point 2 million dollars to us. along with tons of other Donations ..Once again go to the web site and see some of what we do..

I was there and it was beautiful and emotional...remembering when it was for my son in 2006 . Every law Enforcement should try to go at least once .It is an amazing thing that FOP and COPS accomplishes every year. Thanks to all the officers who offer their time to help. and to all of the volunteers..it is a huge job and they do it well. By the way Bush did not show up last year, and it was a huge disappointment that this prez didn't either.I have been every year since 2006. and will go as often as I can.

Even tho I have been in law enforcement for 10yrs, I haven't been either. I too have friends and collegues on the wall and hope to go see it someday. Thoughts go out to all who lost family, friends and collegues. They are missed and thought of often
