Murfreesboro Police Peace Officer Memorial Day Ceremony honoring fallen goes virtual May 11, 2021 at 02:02 pm by WGNS
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The annual Murfreesboro Police Department (MPD) Peace Officer Memorial Day ceremony in honor of fallen officers will be virtual due to COVID. It will air on various broadcast and social media platforms, at 9 a.m. Thursday, May 13.
National Police Week began in 1962, when President John F. Kennedy recognized May 15 as Police Officers Memorial Day.
“This is a time for us to pay special tribute to all law enforcement officers who gave their lives while serving their community,” said Chief Michael Bowen. “While honoring these fallen officers, we also recognize the brave men and women who currently protect and serve our communities daily.”
Grief and grace.
Those two seemingly opposing forces co-existed inside Southport Presbyterian church Thursday as police officers and family members honored their fallen heroes.
There were tears, yes. But there was also hope and compassion. There was family.
The annual Peace Officers Memorial Service is hosted by the local Fraternal Order of Police, the union that represents officers across Marion County. It invites family of slain officers to come together and remember their loved ones.
For some, the grief was perhaps more raw than others. Tom and Jennifer Leath sat near the front of the room just over a year after their daughter, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Breann Leath, was killed in the line of duty.
