Description
The Candlelight Vigil is sponsored by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF). Each year, hundreds of names of officers killed in the line of duty are engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. These names are then read aloud during the annual Candlelight Vigil to memorialize those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
This year marks the 34th Annual Candlelight Vigil, which will take place Friday, May 13th on the National Mall (between 4th and 7th Streets and Madison and Jefferson Drives) in Washington, DC. The Candlelight Vigil starts at 8:00 pm.
The Candlelight Vigil draws in between 25,000 to 40,000 attendees. The attendees come from departments throughout the United States as well as from agencies around the world. This event is open to the public, who we hope will help us honor the service and sacrifice of those who have died in the line of duty.
