Fallen Comrades

"We pay tribute to all those individuals who, in the performance of their duties, paid the supreme price. Few are the names of those who will be remembered except by their families and close friends. Their names have been embossed upon roles of honor and hung with fitting ceremony upon the walls of the department in which they served. But for the most part, they died unsung, doing their duty, sacrificing themselves for the good of all. But to those of us who are enlisted in the cause of maintaining our society,  they are all heroes. So we honor them in death as we remember"
