“Today was fun. I enjoyed all the speakers and found their words encouraging. They showed a great sense of transparency. The museum to me was more than just interesting, it was memorable. Reading about the fallen officers who died in the line of duty made me feel a mix of emotions. I felt a sense of honor and pride today.”
