Jan 2022. Blues Vol 38 No. 1

Each month, The BLUES

Each month, The BLUES dedicates an entire section to fallen officers from across the U.S. For those Texas officers we attend the funerals and do our best to create a lasting memory within our pages for the families of the Fallen to hold on. And to show respect and sadness for our brothers and sisters in Blue. But this year, we wanted to do more. So, we created a special section with the photos of every officer that lost their life in 2021. Unfortunately, it’s quite lengthy. But please take the time to look at each and every photo and say a prayer for their families both blue and blood. For the families, I offer my sincerest condolences and want you to know that you have hundreds of thousands of Blue family here to support you and care for you. The BLUES has a special hot line for you to call 24/7 if you need anything, and I mean anything at all. We will use every resource at our disposal to assist you. We’d also like to thank the good folks at Officer Down Memorial Page(ODMP.org) for providing all the information and photos seen here. I leave you with the following: The police officer who puts their life on the line with no superpowers, no X-Ray vision, no super-strength, no ability to fly, and above all no invulnerability to bullets, reveals far greater virtue than Superman - who is only a mere superhero.
