LOWNDES COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - Blue ribbons stand lined up on the Old Lowndes County Courthouse lawn as a reminder of some fallen heroes.
The 144 ribbons each represent an officer who sacrificed their life in 2016. The ribbons are displayed to remind folks of peace officer appreciation day, which is Monday.
Lowndes County commissioners also held a proclamation to recognize the sacrifices local law enforcement officers make everyday.
There will be a candle light vigil this Saturday on the historic courthouse lawn.
