One year ago, Georgia State Patrol cadet Patrick Dupree died after he collapsed while training. Now his family is waking up in a new, mortgage-free home thanks to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
A Cobb County man's foundation is supporting and comforting families of fallen officers, including the families of three Georgia men who were killed in the line of duty this month. The nonprofit gives them pendants to remind them their loved one is not forgotten.
The average age of the fallen is 45, the average tour of duty – 15 years. In addition to losing 179 law enforcement professionals in the line-of-duty this year, there are 105 widows and 261 children who’ve lost a parent.
Friends and family will gather in Cartersville Saturday to remember a Georgia State Patrol candidate who collapsed and died after finishing a training exercise.
