FORT WORTH'S FINEST

Fort Worth, Trinity Park, TX

This is a new memorial, just completed to our Police Officers and Firefighters that have died in the line of duty in Fort Worth. Each one is a hero and I had to go visit it today. The badges were all lined up and then the Teddy bear in the corner and the glasses and note placed there just moved me to tears. These men died trying to save others and left behind family and friends. There are several story areas along the walkway of some of the men who died in the line of duty. I will go back and take more images once I can have a little more time.

Thank you Cindi, as a wife of a retired Sergeant with the Police Dept. I am so very thankful, my mom's ( retired correction officer Sheriffs Dept.), mine ( two year Reserve Deputy with the Sheriffs Dept. and my husbands (eleven years k-9 handler plus)are not on a wall somewhere. The three Law Enforcement Funerals here were more than I could handle. The badges are very important symbol, ether leaving a part of your self behind for one lost or a gracious dept. doing so. love you~ Bambi
