For those of you who do not know, I recently became the team photographer for Hero to Hero, an organization dedicated to honoring our Troops, Police, and Fire Fighters. Yesterday I had the incredible honor of accompanying the Pierce County Pipes and Drums to photograph the memorial service for the fallen Lakewood Police Officers. It was an indescribable experience to see close to 20,000 law enforcement (including almost 1,000 Canadian Mounties), fire fighters, family members, as well as the countless civilians gathering to honor these people. The outpouring of emotion and support was amazing. As a proud daughter of a cop, sister of a cop, sister-in-law to 3 cops, wife of a cop, and friend to many more this memorial service hit very close to home for me. My thoughts and prayers go out to each of the families. God bless our Law Enforcement Officers, we love and support you all. Thank you for all that you do for our communities!
You can view all of the pictures from this service by going to the Lakewood PD Memorial Gallery on the Hero to Hero website.
Thanks Krista for your sacrifices of time and talent. It was great to meet you, and hopefully we’ll see you at more fun events in the future. Great work!
