PARTING SHOT Heroes Honor Their Own

The Liberty Hill Police Officers Association and the Texas Municipal Police Association held a plate sale last month to raise money for the family of fallen Austin Senior Police Officer Anthony “Tony” Martin of Liberty Hill. Martin served our country for 20 years in the United States Air Force, retired with honors as a master sergeant, then continued to serve the community honorably as an APD officer from 2006 until his End of Watch, September 23. In a community like Liberty Hill, it was no surprise that the fundraiser enjoyed an incredible turnout. Officers from many regional departments lined up in their patrol cars, with lights and sirens, to render honors to their fallen comrade. When we come together, we are more than humans, we are heroes.
Liberty Hill Police Officer Joseph Chapa said, “It was great to see so many from the community and surrounding areas come together and support the fallen, even with the economic challenges we are facing today. It was a great example of why I couldn’t be more proud to be serving this community.” We at the Liberty Hill Digest agree it was moving to see so many heroes show up for a hero. Thank you for your service, SPO Anthony Martin.
