Florida Sheriffs Association and Leaders to Honor Fallen Officers at Memorial Wall

Posted on April 27, 2018

MEDIA ADVISORY

The Florida Sheriffs Association is holding its annual memorial ceremony to honor those who have given their lives in the line of duty. May is dedicated to remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Please join us to pay respects to these fallen heroes, their families, law enforcement colleagues and all the men and women who gave their lives in service to Florida’s citizens.

Established in 2002, the Florida Sheriffs Association incorporated the granite Memorial Wall to honor sheriff’s officers who had fallen in the line of duty. It is a tribute to remember the sheriffs and deputies who have dedicated their lives to serve and protect Floridians, while respecting those who have passed. On the wall is an engraved verse that embraces these fallen heroes and the sacrifices they have made: “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.” John 15:13.
