It&#8217;s held annually at the monument on the capitol grounds in honor of law enforcement officers who have perished in the line of duty. Most years it is a solemn look back at distant history&#8230;this year it was a reflection on the tragic losses of two officers within the past year. I can&#8217;t say anything that hasn&#8217;t already been said, so I&#8217;m just going to share a few photos and let them do the speaking.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/peace_officer_memorial_18501.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nStanding at attention<\/center><center><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/peace_officer_memorial_18554.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHeartfelt thanks and condolences by Attorney General Stenehjem and others<\/center><center><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/peace_officer_memorial_18590.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWreath presentation before the memorial<\/center><center><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/peace_officer_memorial_18608.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n21 gun salute<\/center><center><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/peace_officer_memorial_18498.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nTwo names added<\/center><br \/>\nI&#8217;ll gladly admit that I&#8217;m a tireless cheerleader for law enforcement personnel here and all across our great nation. Some of them give it all in the line of duty, and this memorial honors that sacrifice. The national memorial ceremony is next week, and since there are two North Dakota families traveling to attend that ceremony, the North Dakota commemoration was moved to this week. Next week is Law Enforcement Week here in North Dakota and all across the USA, so please take any opportunity you get to thank them for their service on our behalf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday marked the date of the Peace Officers Memorial ceremony here in North Dakota.
