Processing to the familiar sounds of bagpipes and drums, dozens of pipebands and honor guards arrived at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial on Monday afternoon for the Twelfth Annual Emerald Society & Pipeband March and Service. 
Organized by the National Conference of Law Enforcement Emerald Societies, the march is a National Police Week tradition that brings units from different parts of the country together for music, remembrance and fellowship. 
This year's service featured remarks by New Haven (CT) Police Chief Francisco Ortiz, Monmouth County (NJ) Prosecutor Luis Valentin and Craig W. Floyd, Chairman and CEO of the NLEOMF. Chairman Floyd shared with the group an email he had received from a retired Cherry Hill (NJ) police officer now serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The officer promised that US police officers and their Afghan brothers would hold a special Peace Officers Memorial Day service — complete with bagpipes — before May 15 even arrived on the East Coast of the US — a promise he subsequently confirmed with a follow-up email.
