There’s a lot going on. It means a lot, what they stand for means a lot, but it’s tough,” Donna Seagle said.
The honorees also included Nassau County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Joshua Moyers, who was shot and killed during a traffic stop, and Nassau County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jack Gwynes, a court bailiff who died after battling COVID-19. “This is the fourth year I’ve ridden with the Police Unity Tour. We do it to honor the 23,000 officers whose names are on that wall, and this year, making it extra special because of Josh and Jack, their names are being added to the wall here,” Quick said.President Joe Biden, who also attended ceremonies during National Police Week, spoke directly to the families of fallen law enforcement officers on Monday.
