Message from the TSBA President on the Police Arlington Memorial
On Saturday May 16, 2009 at 1100 hours, there was a brief memorial service and wreath laying ceremony at the Police Gardens NYPD Honor Legion Burial plot located in the Cypress Hills Cemetery. This service was the the first of what we hope will be an annual event. The event was well attended by both active and retired members of the service as well as family and other civilians. After the invocation, Taps and Amazing Grace were performed. Then representatives from various fraternal organizations were invited to place their floral arrangements at the base of the pedestal.

NEW YORK -- Patrolman Albert Black was so neat, he used to polish his NYPD shoes two or three times before going to work. He was such a good ballroom dancer that his wife had a tough time keeping other women away from him on the dance floor. And he loved being a cop more than anything.
