Members of the Fort Worth Police Department joined ranks with the Irving Police Department and U.S. Army Old Guard Sentinels in a solemn act of remembrance this week. The Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C., occurred as part of the observances surrounding #nationalpoliceweek.
Fort Worth Police Department shared their sentiments through a social media post, marking the gravity of the ceremony. "Yesterday, our Honor Guard had the immense honor of participating in the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington national Cemetery in Washington D.C.," the post exclaimed. It was a rare opportunity for the officers to stand in solidarity with their brothers and sisters in uniform, reflecting on the ultimate price paid by some in the line of duty.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a hallowed place, resting on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. It stands as an enduring symbol, an embodiment of respect for American military members who have died without recognition or identification of their remains.
