When all the balloons, cards and candles have been taken down and we have all long forgotten that another Philadelphia Police Officer was killed violently, we should do something permanent to remember our fallen heroes.

I think a plaque like the one that was placed near Pat's Pub up on Castor Avenue commemorating the death of Officer Gary Skerski is an excellent practice.

I also think it would be great if we had an annual "Policeman's Picnic Ball." For a fee, there would be a fun filled day for families and the proceeds could be turned over to those families who lost their loved one while they were on duty trying to protect the rest of us.

Maybe Penn's Landing could set up a few amusement rides and circus games and make in a real old fashioned picnic. Top it off with fire works and make it a celebration.

Just an idea and I would love to hear back from everyone.

Love & Peace
