Salute to Blue

“Law enforcement personnel put themselves in harm’s way every day protecting the City of Moorhead and its citizens. Preserving public safety isn’t an easy job, and in today’s world it can be a thankless, stressful task.

Officers make great personal sacrifices – often working long hours away from families and friends – to ensure our communities are safe.

As the Mayor of Moorhead, it was a privilege and an honor to be part of the Salute to Blue and to thank officers everywhere for their service.” – Shelly Carlson, Moorhead Mayor

"We are fortunate to live in the Fargo Moorhead Community as law enforcement officers because of the support we get from our citizens and businesses. The D-S Beverages "Salute to Blue" is just another great example of one of our local businesses thinking of ways they can recognize the efforts of local law enforcement. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office appreciates the partnership and support of D-S Beverages and wants to thank them for their hospitality."– Jesse Jahner, Cass County Sheriff “This was a great event to be part of and I would like to thank D-S Beverages for their continued support of law enforcement in our communities. The members of the Sheriff’s Office that attended the appreciation were grateful that D-S Beverages hosted such an awesome event and went all out to show their support to law enforcement. We appreciate the support that our community continues to show to law enforcement and we are very lucky to live and work in the area that we do. Thank you!” – Mark Empting, Clay County Sheriff

The “Salute to Blue” event in August was simply D-S Beverages saying “Thank You” to all our great people in local law enforcement. In light of all that is going on across the country, we wanted to let law enforcement here know that in this community you are appreciated and respected. The Fargo Air Museum provided the perfect venue to have up close and personal interaction with the Budweiser Clydesdales while sampling some great Anheuser-Busch beers. We really appreciate the food provided by Hornbachers, the ice cream from Cass Clay, games from Games Galore and the photos from Urban Toad Media. – Doug Restemayer, President D-S Beverages

"D-S Beverages of Moorhead hosted an appreciation event for law enforcement in August. It was a family event held at the Fargo Air Museum with food, beverages, games for the kids, with an appearance of the Budweiser Clydesdales Hitch Team. Doug Restemayer and his team went above and beyond in letting the law enforcement community know they are supported and appreciated.

The event was well-attended, beautifully done and our staff thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you D-S Beverages for your support!" – Shannon Monroe, Moorhead Police Chief

“It is always great to see our community showing support for its law enforcement officers. I know the men and women of the Fargo Police Department never expect it, but still greatly appreciate the gesture. Careers in law enforcement are difficult but important work, and events like "Salute to Blue" which display the community’s backing of its guardians help show the impact each of them has on those they protect.” – Tim Mahoney, Fargo Mayor

“The Fargo Police Department was honored to be a part of the Salute to Law Enforcement event, and appreciate the support and collaboration of members of our community and service providers who help enable us to carry out the vision and mission of the department each and every day.” – Jessica Shindeldecker, Fargo Police Dept.
