"The world of policing is a brotherhood. We all depend on each other and we try to protect each other, and as part of that, you have to honor the commitment and sacrifice. Plus it is also a way of, as a family of us, to get some healing and some comfort," said Jim Thomas, police chief in Lower Windsor Township.
The first officer honored was killed in 1929.
