From Tribute to Mission: Honoring the Fallen Every Mile

Keeping their memory alive through action.

Behind every badge is a human being willing to run toward danger when others run away.

Policing isn’t just a job; it’s a commitment filled with long hours, missed holidays, and moments that demand courage most people will never fully see. Yet, our officers continue to show up, standing as a line between safety and uncertainty.

One year ago, I made the decision to vinyl wrap my truck to honor the brave men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty. I had the privilege of knowing many of them, and it means everything to me to help ensure their legacy is never forgotten.

Since then, the truck has received multiple awards — but these honors are not ours alone. Each one is dedicated to the fallen heroes whose names and sacrifices inspired this tribute. Their courage is the reason this mission continues to grow.

Back the Blue CT has officially become a nonprofit organization. This next step allows us to raise funds to support the families who have suffered the unimaginable loss of a loved one in the line of duty. What started as a personal tribute has grown into a mission — to remember the fallen, support their families, and stand behind those who continue to serve.
