Honoring our Fallen Heroes

I was glad to have the opportunity yesterday to join the Montgomery County Police Department in paying tribute to and honoring our fallen heroes. Please take a moment to remember these officers who gave their lives in the line of duty, and if you have not yet had the chance, I encourage you to visit the Montgomery County Public Safety Memorial. You'll be glad you did.
