May 30, 2011 - Memorial Day
American flag at half mast."WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER TO NEVER FORGET"

The flags atop the Police and Fire Pension Fund buildings were lowered to half staff on May 30th in honor of the men and women who gave their life in service to our Country. Memorial Day is set aside for us to remember those brave citizens who died to keep us free. Our freedom is not free. The freedom to assemble peacefully, own firearms, speak up, vote for the candidate of our choice, work, and worship according to our belief was paid for us by the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Members of our armed forces during the last 236 years. Deceased Members of the Police and Fire Pension Fund have been interred in American cemeteries far from our shores.
 
MAY THEY REST IN ETERNAL PEACE WITH THE GRATITUDE OF OUR NATION
