Fallen Heroes Wreath Program

NASH, WILSON & FRANKLIN COUNTIES, NC

Today, like every year on the first Saturday in December, I had the opportunity to participate in the fallen heros wreath program with my brothers from Buckhorn chapter of Enforcers MC. Placing wreaths upon the final resting places of law enforcement officers that have lost their lives in service to our communities. Reading the bios for each and hearing how each hero lost their lives has got to be one of the most humbling experiences I have ever been a part of. It is an honor to do this every year. Thanks to the Fallen Heroes Wreath Program for allowing us to do this.

This program was started by the family of Philadelphia Police Officer John Pawlowski who was killed in the line of duty on February 13, 2009. Johnny was the last of seven Philadelphia Police Officers who had been killed in a two year period of time.

His family was inspired by the national Wreaths Across America program and wanted to find a way to honor other Fallen Officers who were were interred in the same cemetery with John. That first year’s effort, which began with a fleeting thought and 18 gravesites, was the beginning of what would become a national memorial program.

To date, we have functioning chapters in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Florida, Maryland, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Utah and New York. We also honor Fallen Officers in Alaska, Alabama, Missouri and South Dakota. Story & Photos: Ed Haag

We continue to grow each year and are proud for this program to be a part of Johnny’s legacy.
