Each year representatives from area law enforcement agencies gather along the bluff in St. Joseph to honor those killed in the line of duty. This year, due to the poor weather conditions, the ceremony was moved inside into the St. Joseph Library. Although the setting may not have been ideal, the service was still moving. I have the upmost respect for these men and women who risk their lives each and every day.
