Four USAF Defenders to be added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in 2026 Police Week
Congratulations to these superb Project Managers and the Eagle Chapter for getting our Defenders recognized!!
These four Defenders came to our attention through unusual means - one via a Eagle Chapter board meeting. The other via Facebook. Although there were other Defenders who we are in the process of recognizing, the superior talents of the Defenders at their units will get these names on the wall.
As with every single NLEOM approval that we have, we are only successful if the project manager can embrace the need to recognize their fellow Defender.
Heartfelt thanks to the project managers at both bases:
Aviano AB, IT -- TSgt Jonny Conley, SrA Ellesabel Rooney and Capt Christopher L. Giles
Minot AB, ND -- 1Lt Curtis M. Covington
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund has placed all these Airmen on their website with the high-level description of the event that led to their sacrifice. You can find all the USAF Defenders here: https://nleomf.org/?s=security+forces&id=58053&post_type=fallen-heroes
