The City of Mission hosted a National Police Memorial ceremony to honor officers who have died in the line of duty and to recognize law enforcement personnel from the city, state and federal partners.

"They gave their life up to protect others, and I just want people to remember that," said the spouse of a fallen officer, who described her husband as someone "who loved his job" and "loved spending time with his family."

"For us, we will always be connected with them and their families from here on out," the speaker said.
