1997 Philadelphia National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Silver Dollar MS70 NGC Brown Label

On October 15, 1991, a significant moment occurred in Washington D.C. as the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial was unveiled. Its purpose was to pay tribute to over 14,000 officers who had tragically lost their lives in the line of duty. One of the memorial's inscriptions, contributed by Vivian Eney, a survivor, profoundly states, "It is not how these officers died that made them heroes, it is how they lived." This statement beautifully captures the essence of their heroism, emphasizing the way they lived and served their communities rather than the circumstances of their passing.
