Today is National Peace Officer Memorial Day, a day when we honor the sacrifices of our nation’s law enforcement officers. The Port Authority PBA especially honors and remembers the sixty-five Port Authority police officers who sacrificed their lives so others may live. These officers lived with courage, integrity and a selfless commitment to the public they served. A true representation of America's law enforcement heroes. They will always be honored and never forgotten. May they rest in the Lord's eternal embrace.

National Peace Officer Memorial Day, Police Week 2024, Washington, D.C.;
A major honor for the family of a fallen police officer is the inscribing of their loved one's name into the stone walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. This year, two Port Authority police officers, Captain Richard L. Ruiz, Sr., E.O.W. 11/18/2023 and Police Officer David J. Lee, E.O.W. 7/29/2022, were added to the Memorial's walls.
Both officers succumbed to a 9/11 WTC illness contracted during their heroic and selfless work in the toxic environment of the World Trade Center Rescue and Recovery.
May they rest in the Lord's eternal embrace. Always Honored, Never Forgotten.
