• Myrtle Beach Police Department: "It's not only today or this week that we honor the fallen and remember the survivors, but every day. Every day our officers put on the uniform they honor and remember the brothers and sisters, mothers, and fathers, and parents and grandparents and grandchildren that have come before them, and who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their communities. This week is to celebrate those same people who have made the ultimate sacrifice not only in Myrtle Beach, but around the country. Being the line that safeguards our communities from those who wish us harm." (Myrtle Beach Police Department via Facebook)
