Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today on this solemn day of remembrance. Across Alaska, in our cities, On our road-connected communities and our most remote villages, we pause today to honor the 69 law enforcement officers who gave their lives in the service of others. Their names have been etched into the memorial. These are not just names carved into stone. They are our family, our friends, and each with a story, each with a legacy.
Federal, state, borough, and local law enforcement stood in mixed formation in Anchorage on Wednesday to honor 69 officers killed in the line of duty since 1897. A new bell monument was dedicated, and families of the fallen were invited to pay tribute at the memorial.
