Washington, DC, May 15, 2019 —
The 38th Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service was held on the West Front of the US Capitol to honor 158 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in 2018. The families of two deputy US marshals — Chase White, killed Nov. 29 in Arizona, and Chris Hill, killed Jan. 18 in Pennsylvania — were in attendance to place red carnations in the memorial wreath and receive medals in honor of their lost family members.
President Donald Trump gave the keynote address. In attendance were House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, US Attorney General William Barr and heads of federal law enforcement agencies, including U.S. Marshals Director Donald Washington.
