Song in my head: In Birmingham they love the governor......Lynyrd Skynyrd

In remembrance of my father, a police officer killed in the line of duty, I receive a quarterly publication listing law enforcement officers who lost their lives. As we spend this weekend mourning the soldiers who lost their lives, remember the cops who put their lives in danger daily. Here are a few officers who lost their lives recently.
