As we finish the 2016 Police Unity Tour, I just want to add a few more pictures from the ride, before, during and in Washington DC at the Candle Light vigil.
I want to thank again our supporters and those that donated to the Police Unity Tour. Without you we could not have done this.
Also I want to mention retired Lt. Joe Franklin who died while riding in this years Police Unity Tour after a fall from his bicycle on day one of the Tour.
Without people like him, we would not be who we are as a Tour.
No matter the crashes, no matter the gripes we get from the public, or even our co-workers at times, this ride is worth the sacrifice we make each year to dedicate the time to train, the time to fund raise and the time to spread the word about what the Police Unity Tour is and the reason it exists. As long as we continue to loose brothers and sisters in the line of duty, there will be those of us that will stand up to remember them, and show their families that we will not forget; we will honor their loved ones made the ultimate sacrifice.
Temper the Grief with Honor.
