The Henderson County Peace Officer’s President Kendell Wellman would like to invite the public to the 2014 Peace Officer’s Memorial at 12 p.m. Thursday, May 15, on the Northwest corner of the courthouse square.
This event will honor and pay tribute to Henderson County Peace Officers that have paid the ultimate sacrifice in their sworn duty.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the week in which that date falls as National Police Week (2014 is May 12 – May 17).
