Lubbock Police Chief Seth Herman says this memorial reminds everyone of the men, women and families who serve every day.
“It is truly an honor to participate in this ceremony,” Herman said. “You know, it’s heartbreaking to see the families of these men because they’re the ones who really paid the ultimate sacrifice. But it’s also heartwarming to know that we still have men and women who are willing to lay down their lives for others they don’t know.
