Eastvale – On Fri., Jan 9, WOLFF (Wives of Law Enforcement and Firefighters) held an event to honor the memory of the 118 Peace Officers killed in the line of duty in 2014.

The public gathered at Eastvale’s Fire Station #27, where 118 American flags were placed in front of the station.  In addition, Eastvale Firefighters displayed a blue light at the firehouse to remember the men and women who have sacrificed their lives.

This event coincided with a national movement to support law enforcement officers as they serve and protect citizens in the United States in the hope of bringing communities together and awareness to a worthy cause.

During the ceremony, Bagpiper, Terri McCarthy – a retired Los Alamitos Police Officer – played taps and other significant music, while members of the community, Police Officers, and Firefighters took turns placing a flag along the sidewalk in front of the station.

It was truly a community event, and WOLFF would like to give a special “Thank You” to the City of Eastvale and the surrounding communities that have been supportive of our fallen Heroes.

WOLFF will be putting on many future events to support our Law Enforcement and Firefighter families, as well as the Eastvale community.
