TOM DECKER MN LAW ENFORCEMENT FUND A message from Chuck and Paul Waletzko: Dear Supporters of the Officer Tom Decker MN Law Enforcement Memorial, As you know, November 29 marked the 11th anniversary of Officer Decker's EOW. We keep Tommy and all fallen officers and their families in our prayers. Here is a wonderful photo album of last year's commemoration ceremony created by Jackie Bergeron from Minnesota Cops. It is a great keepsake as a way of honoring all of our brave men and women in blue. Thanks to all of you who made the beautiful Officer Tom Decker Minnesota Law Enforcement Memorial a reality this year, as it stands proudly in front of the Cold Spring Police Station. God bless you all, NATIONAL NIGHT OUT (NNO) 2023
