FCSO REMEMBERS THOSE WHO GAVE ALL
Today, in particular, we remember and salute the service and the sacrifice of our fellow brothers and sisters in blue that made the ultimate sacrifice while in service to their communities.
Below is a picture of a permanent display memorial posted in tribute to the five men who provided their all and a brief comment as to their “End of Watch” (EOW). Each member has a plaque commemorating their service that reads in part, “We Honor And Remember Those Who Gave Their Lives In The Protection And Service Of The People Of Forrest County”.
