A SALUTE FROM THE PDX RETRO BLOG ~

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National
Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which
May 15 falls, as National Police Week.

Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962,
National Police Week pays special recognition to
those law enforcement officers who have lost their
lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection
of others.

Over one hundred officers are killed in the line of
duty each year. We vow to never forget their
sacrifice and their families sacrifice.

A REMINDER FROM PDX RETRO BLOG ~

Originally signed into law in 1952, National Day of Prayer is a day
when people of all faiths are asked to pray for our nation. Title 36, Section 119 of US law states: “The President shall issue each year
a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National
Day of Prayer.
