Veterans Day: Edgewater Police Department Salutes Those Who Served

From Edgewater Police Chief John Mackey:

The EPD acknowledges the United States Veterans that work daily with us at The Edgewater Police Department this Veterans Day, November 11, 2020. United States Army Specialist and Edgewater Police Officer Terry Ross, United States Marine Corporal and Edgewater Police SRO Officer Ed McCallin, United States Air Force Staff Sergeant, Edgewater Police Officer Chad Slavin, and Army Specialist, Colorado National Guard Sergeant, and United States Air Force Reserve Staff Sergeant and EPD Volunteer Dave Suter.

We owe you each a great debt for your service in defense of this nation to ensure that our democracy and the ideals of freedom and liberty are preserved. We are pleased and honored to recognize your service and honored to have you as members of our team. We wish to express our gratitude, appreciation and respect for you and all members of the armed forces who serve with honor under the most difficult circumstances and make sacrifices that many of us cannot begin to understand.

In light of Veterans Day, Edgewater Police Veterans are provided with a service pin that they display proudly on their Edgewater Police Uniform. The Edgewater Police Department wants to convey our thanks, gratitude and respect to those neighbors in our city who served in the armed forces, and for our Marines. November 10th is the Birthday of our US Marine Corp. and we extend our best wishes for a Happy Birthday Marines!

Thank you!

Chief Mackey
