Nashville's finest who made the ultimate sacrifice will be honored tomorrow at the city's annual memorial service. The ceremony, set to take place at 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church on 7th Avenue South, pays tribute to the 47 officers who have laid down their lives for the community since 1875. The event is sponsored by the Andrew Jackson Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, as reported by Nashville.gov.

The solemn occasion will mark the remembrance, among the fallen heroes, of Officer John Anderson, the last Metro officer killed while engaging in the line of duty. On the morning of July 4, 2019, having been hit by another vehicle, his life ended tragically at the intersection of Interstate Drive and Woodland Street.

As Nashville prepares to honor their legacy, the gathering at First Baptist Church will undoubtedly be a moment of deep reflection and gratitude for those who have given so much. Tomorrow, with the church's doors open wide, Nashville will stand still in their honor, mourning their absence and celebrating their courage under the most trying of circumstances.
