National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
Dear Supporter,

I’m excited to inform you that our 2012 Memorial Supporter window-cling decal is available. Be sure to request yours now.

2011 Supporter Decal
Click here to request one additional decal or for a replacement if yours was damaged.

I encourage you to place it on your car or home window to show everyone your support for our nation’s law enforcement officers — especially our fallen heroes.

And I hope you will support the Memorial today with a gift of $5.00 or more.

Your support of the Memorial Fund’s programs means the world to the families of fallen officers … and to their fellow officers who still serve today. Like this note:

“Thanks to all who support this wonderful cause. As the ‘baby sister’ of a fallen officer, it does my heart good to know that my brother, as well as the countless others who gave their lives to secure our safety, will not be forgotten. They are all true heroes . . .”
– Message left by a Memorial visitor in Washington, DC

I’ve heard this sentiment many times from the families and friends of so many fallen officers.

When survivors of a fallen officer see the Memorial window decal on cars and home windows, they are reminded that their loved one is never forgotten. And displaying your Supporter Decal allows law enforcement officers to recognize you as a Memorial supporter.

So be sure to request your decal today.

Thanks for all you do to help the Memorial Fund ensure that the service and sacrifice of America’s peace officers are forever remembered.

Sincerely,
Craig Floyd
Craig W. Floyd
Chairman & CEO

P.S  Please be sure to support the Memorial today with a gift of $5.00 or more. Thank you.

Stand with Thin Blue Line
Stand with the Thin Blue Line Button
 NPW Awareness Bands TBL Pledge
As a special thank you for signing the pledge, you and a law enforcement officer will receive a special National Police Week awareness band.
*Limit one per household.

Dear Supporter,

At the start of 2011, a tragic wave of violence raged against America’s law enforcement officers, with 11 officers shot within a 24-hour time frame. As a result, the Memorial Fund asked supporters like you to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our law enforcement community by signing our Stand with the Thin Blue Line pledge.

Over 10,000 individuals responded, affirming that violence against law enforcement officers should not be tolerated. Unfortunately, law enforcement fatalities rose even higher during 2011, reaching 172 officer fatalities by year’s end.

I’m asking you to show your support today — Stand with the Thin Blue Line by writing a special “thank you” message to America’s law enforcement heroes. Let them know that you support their efforts to keep our communities safe. Show them that you care!

When you submit your message, you will receive a special National Police Week 2012 awareness band to show your support — as a symbol of our solidarity with law enforcement.* We’ll also provide a matching awareness band to a member of one of the countless law enforcement Honor Guard Units who will stand watch at the Memorial during National Police Week

Please, help us spread our message and support our law enforcement heroes. Take a stand! Forward this message to friends, family and co-workers and share the pledge on Facebook and Twitter.

These men and women put their lives on the line for us every day, to ensure our safety, and we must stand in support of law enforcement. Please Stand with the Thin Blue Line and add your name to the growing list of individuals who are tired of the violence against America’s law enforcement heroes. Help show the law enforcement community that we stand by them.

Sincerely,
Craig Floyd

I am going to OCCUPY Monday. Monday I am going to occupy a small street in Babylon, Long Island. I will be joined by thousands of people I do not know. I will be joined by people from all over the country. They will come because it is what we do for each other. We take care of our own.

We are going to OCCUPY Monday. We will be there rain, snow, or shine. … … We will never enter St Joseph’s Church. We will line the streets for miles. We will have drums. They will sound serious, they will sound dignified, they will sound solemn. We will have bagpipes. They will sound the ode to sadness that we all know so well. We will have helicopters. They will fly in a formation. They will fly neat, orderly, and with purpose. There will be one bird missing. We will have motorcycles. We will have a lot of motorcycles. They will be loud. We will hear them coming from a miles away. They will send chills up our backs. We will have goose bumps. We will have tears.

We are going to OCCUPY Monday. We will stand shoulder to shoulder in a sea of blue. We will salute, immaculate white gloves touching the shiny black brim. We will be unified in purpose. We will not need a sign to explain our occupation. We will stand with one voice, on mission. We will not ask for your money, your sympathy, or understanding. We will not complain about why we are here. It was our choice to raise the right hand. We took this job fully knowing the hazards of the profession.

I am going to OCCUPY Monday. I want to say goodbye to someone that I never met. I want to say goodbye to a hero. I want to say goodbye to a colleague. I want to say goodbye to a father. I want to say goodbye to a son.

This is how we say goodbye.

RIP Police Officer Peter Figoski

You will never be forgotten!
