Excerpt - "Our Fallen: … they are the evidence that what we do has meaning, they are the proof that what we do has purpose, and they are the absolute truth that what we do is truly noble. Their lives and their deaths remind us that we are not immortal but rather we are merely ordinary people who have sworn an oath to take on an extraordinary responsibility to help and protect others in the mundane and the most unimaginable circumstances with a full understanding of what the cost to do so… might actually mean."
The annual memorial and candlelight vigil is held at the Orange County Peace Officers’ Memorial Monument at the Sheriff's Department Regional Training Academy in Tustin.
