For thousands of years, we have bestowed titles, laurel's and praise upon the warriors that have protected our home lands. From ancient Rome, where the conquering General was proceeded into the Senate by flower girls covering their path with rose petals. To our generals of today that are given ticker-tape parades as they return victorious from a conflict. As a nation we tend to place the symbols of peace upon the head of the warrior, as we turn from the true peace makers that walk among us everyday. We look and never see those that protect and serve unless we become the victim. They ask little, and give so much. Sometimes they give us the ultimate gift anyone can give to another, their lives, so we might live in peace and safety. It was said that a man have no greater love, than to give his life for another. So here, we attempt to honor those that have given us the greatest gift of all, the Law Enforcement Officers that gave their lives in the line of duty.
