N ext Saturday, May 10, nearly
100 local, state, and federal
law enforcement officers will
embark upon a 250-mile bicycle journey
from Chesapeake, VA, to the National
Law Enforcement Officers
Memorial (NLEOM) in Washington,
DC. The officers are members of the
Policy Unity Tour , an organization established
to raise monetary support for
and awareness of the Memorial. The
officers come together and make the
annual ride to honor their colleagues
that have been killed in the line of
duty.
Although this is only the third year
for the Virginia contingent, the participating
officers will be delivering a
check payable to the NLEOM Fund for
$100,000, bringing the Chapter’s combined
three-year total to $185,000, and
the Police Unity Tour National’s to
nearly one million dollars.
The 2003 event begins
with a
"Send-Off Ceremony" at 7:00AM at
the Virginia State Police Division V
Headquarters, 1557 South Military
Highway, in Chesapeake. Delegate
Robert McDonnell will be there to
present the officers with a copy of Joint
House Resolution No. 915, commending
the Police Unity Tour effort. Lieutenant
Colonel Don Carter, the
Provost
Marshal at Ft. Eustis, which oversees
the Ft. Story Military Police Unit in Virginia
Beach, will be the keynote
speaker. Carter is expected to address
the officers riding in honor of Sergeant
Frederick Dale Greene , a Fort Story
Military Police Officer killed in the line
of duty as a result of an incident that occurred
on the fort more than 33 years
ago. Greene will finally be recognized
for his service and sacrifice to his country
when his name is engraved into the
marble walls of the National Law Enforcement
Officers Memorial and announced,
as a tradition, at the annual
Candlelight Vigil Ceremony Tuesday,
May 13, 8:00PM.
At 8:00AM, the officers
will begin
pedaling for Washington. The route
will take them through Portsmouth,
Suffolk, Smithfield, and across the
James River on the ferry. Continuing
through Williamsburg, the officers will
arrive in Richmond on Saturday
evening. On Sunday morning,
the officers
will pedal to the State Capitol,
then north on Route 1 to Fredericksburg,
where they will stop for the
night. Monday, the officers
will continue
the ride and meet at the Lincoln
Memorial with some 350 other members
riding in from Indiana, New York,
and New Jersey. Officers will finish
the trek to the National Law Enforcement
Officers Memorial with an anticipated
arrival time of 2:00PM.
