Fallen Officers Remembrance

On Sunday evening, July 7, the family of Deputy Larry John Miller sponsored a Fallen Officers Remembrance at Memorial Lane and Jim Burks Firefighters Memorial Park to pay homage to law enforcement officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. After attendees settled in their seats, family members of Jailer Dusty Wren and Deputy Larry Miller were escorted in. The event details included Deputy Chief Garrett Wiginton as the Master of Ceremonies, and Mayor Jim Jarratt welcoming attendees and participants. The invocation was presented by Chaplain John Hosea, and Tolar PD Officer Scott Daily led the Pledge of Allegiance. Judge Ron Massingill attended with an official proclamation, and Sheriff Roger was the honored Keynote Speaker. One of many emotional moments in the ceremony came when Sheriff Deeds presented the Wren Family with a Memorial Flag. As TAPS was performed a Flag Ceremony took place with Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds and Granbury Police Chief Mitch Galvan as a representative of the Texas Department of Public Safety simultaneously placed a Wreath. Granbury PD Lt. Russell Grizzard and Granbury PD Chief Deputy Steve Smith took turns at the podium for the Roll Call. Chaplain Steve Quinn ended with a closing prayer.
