Adair Countian Daniel Neil Ellis one of fallen law enforcement officers honored. RICHMOND, KY (23 May 2016) - When Covington Police Detective Anthony Jansen became old enough to enter the field of law enforcement, he said he thought often about what it would have been like for his father to witness him following in his footsteps. "After graduating the academy, the first thing I did was go to the cemetery," Jansen told the crowd today during the 17th annual Kentucky Law Enforcement Memorial ceremony.

Memorial Day Tribute from Doug Beard By Doug Beard I would like to take this opportunity to thank those dedicated citizens and corporate sponsors who took the time and provided the American flags which were placed on the graves of our nation’s veterans in the Columbia Cemetery. It exhibits great respect and honors those who fought to keep America a free and independent nation. As I observed the flag, placed on the final resting place of my father, a veteran of WWII and the Korean Conflict, it provided a very special moment of reflection. Also, two of my favorite quotes - accompanying photo- which have the greatest meaning for me during this Memorial Day week were delivered by 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. I often reflect on many of the historic words of one of our greatest presidents each time I pass his birthplace in Hodgenville. 2016-05-23 00:44:11 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Veterans and Veterans Day
