(USGovernment-News.Com, May 20, 2015 ) Houston, Texas -- This Friday, May 22nd HPD Officer Richard Martin will be laid to rest. Show your support by ‘wearing the blue’ on Friday as a way to let the family of Officer Martin and the HPD and peace officer community know we appreciate and respect what they do for our community!
May 11-17 was National Police Week established by President John F. Kennedy as National Police Officers Memorial Day. Houston has once again suffered the loss of one of the HPD Officers who provide “Order Through Law & Justice With Mercy” for the City of Houston.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Utilize this opportunity to talk with your family, your coworkers, your students, and your friends about ways to create a community that places value on treating people with dignity and respect. This would honor the life of this fallen officer and his grieving family including his 11 and 12-year-old children and fellow officers in blue.
Schools, companies, hospitals, places of worship, TV personalities, restaurants, retail stores, and more can all make this small gesture and create a statement. When we find ourselves in harms way, we can count on these brave men and women. Now it is our turn to show them we care and respect what they do.
