When I was a small child my family’s world was rocked when my uncle Ted was killed in the line of duty as a prison guard in Yuma Arizona. Today I went to visit the law enforcement memorial in Washington DC. They make it very easy for you to find the names of your loved ones, and there on the East Side 11th panel was the name Theodore J Buckley. I spent some time quietly reflecting on not just my uncle’s name but also on the thousands of other names that line those long walls.
