Midshipmen scale Herndon at USNA, police horses on the Mall, and honors rendered to the fallen.

Started the day at Annapolis for the Plebes climbing the Herndon statue at the USNA, then to the Mall for a Police Horse Parade, and finally the law enforcement memorial to see the events for Police Week.

Oh yes, the wonderful Navy traditions. Civilians just don't understand them. They mean the world to the military. Beautiful chaple! Beautiful horses. My dad was a police officer. Thanks for showing the memorial.

[@tigerpinky]

I really enjoyed this one. Beautiful chapel and the horses. God Bless our police.

Beautiful photos of the lard covered boys. Tears came to my eyes when we entered the chapel. It was stunning. We are so fortunate to have you educate us THANKS so much ❤❤ 29:43 29:43

Congratulations to the plebes! Awesome tradition. Wonderful to see the recognition and honor's for the fallen officers. They all deserve so much more. Wonderful video. Thank you Andrew for all your efforts getting these amazing moments and sharing them with us.

Thanks so much P6. You managed to cover a lot of ground in 1 video. Naval Academy 👍 finally we see lots of horses 👍beautiful. The Police Memorial and the cars 👍 Appreciate all you do. See you tomorrow. Take care.

The brick building behind the police honor guards houses the National Building Museum, a private, non-profit museum. The building was originally a government building which disbursed military pensions, primarily pensions for Civil War veterans. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial is located at street level, on the roof of the Metro subway Red Line's Judiciary Square subway station. You can take the Red Line subway over approximately one stop from Union Station, which is near the U.S. Capitol. Since the last time that I visited Washington, D.C., a law enforcement museum has been built near the memorial. Judiciary Square has several types of courthouses located near the memorial. The Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police headquarters is also nearby. The National Law Enforcement Memorial is somewhat similar to the original Vietnam War Memorial. The law enforcement memorial lists the name of every law enforcement officer in the United States who died in the line of duty, since the country was founded in the late 1700s. Sometimes another name is discovered from the old days, and has to be added to the memorial. The memorial commemorates both local law enforcement officers, and federal agents. or federal officers. The memorial does not contain the names of active duty military members who died while performing law enforcement duties, such as a military police officer. The memorial has some statutes of lions protecting their cubs. The statutes are supposed to resemble law enforcement officers protecting the rest of us. A large scale incident where many law enforcement officers died was the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. All of those officers' names are on the memorial. Those deceased officers include approximately 40 New York city police officers, approximately 40 Port Authority of New York [state] and New Jersey police officers, an F.G.I. agent, a uniformed Secret Service officer, and some New York state court officers. A few firefighters who had promoted to become arson investigators are also listed on the memorial--the arson investigators either died while they were trying to evacuate building occupants, or they died while service as aides to high ranking fire chiefs. An off duty federal wildlife warden may have participated in the passenger revolt against the hijackers on Flight 91, and his name is on the memorial. Finally, some police officers who were at the World Trade Center on September 11th eventually died of cancer, because they had breathed toxic air at the World Trade Center fire.

P6... The USN thing was awesome!! What a great tradition... what a load of fun! As a lifelong Policeman, 38 years and counting, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to share with your followers the National Peace Officer Memorial. If you'll permit me, I'd like to share a few facts... May 15th is designated by law as Peace Officer Memorial Day and is one of only two days authorized by law for the Nation's flags to be flown at half staff. The other is Memorial Day. Since the first recorded death of a police officer in the late 1700's there have been 26,617 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. The memorials wall that you showed have the names of the fallen inscribed and unlike all of the other memorials honoring our country's military veterans, the police officer's memorial walls will never be completed; on average, 150 police officers a year die while serving their communities.

Our last visit to DC was during Police Week and they had a group of officer's that were able to lay a wreath at The Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington. With all of the crazy things that go on in DC, you can still see some very good and touching events.

[@scottphillips5377]

Thanks for the trip to the naval academy. I have watched on TV the climbing. They just needed a little more team work and been a little better. The church is breathtaking. Thanks for showing the law enforcement grounds. I think tomorrow the V.P. might be coming to Wisconsin again. Hoping for a helicopter photos. No big deal if not.

[@andrewwilks5155]

Seeing this video reminds me of scenes from Valley Forge Military Academy back in the 1980s. I had a sibling who finished out his high school years at Valley Forge Military Academy back in the late 1980s and seeing this video VERY MUCH reminds me of the scenes I saw at Valley Forge Military Academy whenever we went there to check up on our brother with our family traveling from NW PA all the way to Bucks county to stay with our grandparents on our Mom's side when visiting our sibling at nearby Valley Forge Military Academy.
