Peace Officers Memorial Day is a special day on May 15th to remember and honor police officers who have died while doing their job to keep people safe. It's a time to show respect and gratitude for the brave officers who protect our communities but have lost their lives in doing so. People lower flags to half-staff, hold ceremonies, and say "thank you" to those who continue to serve. It's important because it helps everyone remember that officers risk their lives to help us, and we should appreciate their hard work and sacrifice.
