President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation calling for flags to fly at half staff today.
The White House proclamation is in recognition of Peace Officers Memorial Day.
Each May 15th since 1962, the nation pays tribute to local, state and federal peace officers who have died or been disabled in the line of duty.
The presidential proclamation calls on all citizens to honor the brave officers who serve on the front lines to protect families and communities, while shouldering the burden of responsibility most Americans cannot fathom.
