So finally, here is our last day of the Police Unity Tour!
Sorry it has taken me so long to get this up, but with everything we had to do in Washington D.C. with the Candle Light up to the President's Speech on May 15th, it was a busy week. So enjoy these few pictures and the Video at the end of this Blog.
Myself, Mike and John just before we started the last day of the PUT, 60 miles to DC!
As we traveled the country side of Maryland, I started to realize we were almost done, and then I started to think of why we were doing this. This was no Vacation, though it was an adventure. But we were here to remember our fellow fallen Law Enforcement brothers and sisters. We were there to raise awareness of the sacrafices that a few of us have made to help keep our communities safe.
So we were there for Kent, Shandon, John, and the Lakewood four to name a few.
Just before we made the last streach into the Memorial in D.C., we all gathered with the rest of the riders from the Police Unity Tour (1,500 riders strong) in the parking lot of R.F.K. Stadium.
Together we all rode into D.C., by the U.S. Capitol...
And into the Law Enforcement Memorial with one more person, Michelle Garcia from Lakewood (WA) Police Department.
The CEO of the National Law Enforcement Memorial, Craig Floyd, gave a short speech.
And if you have ruffly 12 minutes, I recommend you watch the video below, and thanks for following the Pierce County Police Unity Tour Blog.
