The Fallen Blue

Sacrifice is part of the job of a law enforcement officer. We work nights and weekends, on our kids birthdays, on our anniversaries. We get called in when tragedy strikes or chaos reigns. These are difficult responsibilities, but they are not the ultimate sacrifice. The Ultimate sacrifice takes place when an officer lays their very life at the altar of freedom. Lt Joe talks about this sacrifice and pays tribute to fallen NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.
