Montour Falls Community Gathers in Prayer to Honor Fallen and Injured Law Enforcement Officers
MONTOUR FALLS, N.Y. (WENY) -- On Wednesday, April 17th, the Montour Falls United Church united by prayer to honor and express gratitude towards law enforcement officers, particularly those who have lost their lives or been injured in the line of duty.
Kelly, who is also a former law enforcement officer, shared his personal connection to the cause, "I've seen and had friends who have been lost. So it hits hard to understand what it does to the family, what it does to the family of colleagues, and the effect that it has. It's really hard, it's a tough thing, it just really tugs at the heart. It hurts everybody," he said.
Similar to the event on April 17th, all officers will be honored for their service on Wednesday, May 15th, for Law Enforcement Memorial Day.
