National Police Week -- Saying 'thank you'
Saturday, May 16, 2015
This past week we observed National Police Officer week. I think, to many people, this year felt it would be a little different because of all the controversial issues from around the nation involving police. National Peace Officers Memorial Day was declared to be May 15, by President Kennedy in 1962; and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, was established as National Police Officer week by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962.
