Yesterday, I had the honor of participating in the 13th Annual Law Ride, a motorcycle caravan recognizing the officers who lost their lives on America’s roads in 2007. While our highways are getting safer for passengers and drivers every year, they are more dangerous than ever for our men and women in uniform. For the 10th straight year, traffic-related incidents claimed the lives of more officers than any other cause of death.
Yesterday’s ride highlighted the importance of road safety, and I encourage you all to visit the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial Fund’s website, where you can learn more about their Drive Safely campaign: http://www.nleomf.org/TheFund/programs/DriveSafely/
Here are some photos from yesterday’s event.
