HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem #01 - PresentationGOOD MORrTING, I am Angel CalzP -' la, Executive
Assistant to C,_.ef of Police Raul Martinez. We have
prepared a special tribute this morning, on behalf of your
Mayor, Commissioners, the City Manager, the Chief of the
Fire Department and the Chief of Police, and ALL of the
employees of the City of Miami, for all of the men, women
and children who have in one way or another been affected
by this tragedy ... a tragedy that occurred, ALMOST TO
THE MINUTE, ONE YEAR AGO TODAY.
The tribute will consist of the Presentation of Colors by the
Miami Police Honor Guard, (Originally it was designed to
be a "combined" honor guard, but as you can imagine, the
Fire Department's Honor Guard is committed to many
events today and could not be EVERYWHERE they would
have liked to have been).
Next we will have the pledge of allegiance read by the 5th
graders of the City' brand new school located next to the
Police Station, DOWNTOWN CHARTER.
After that, we will have the privilege of listening to
Firefighter Raul Fernandez sing our National Anthem
followed by God Bless America sung by Police Employee
Sandreka Williams.
We will then Join Police Chaplain Rev. Razz Vasquez in
prayer in honor of those that lost their lives in this tragedy.
This prayer will be followed by comments from our Mayor
and the Commissioners.
We have also prepared a Slide presentation with the song
"God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood, that will be
followed by 21 -Gun Salute by the Miami Police Honor
Guard and the ceremony will close with the playing of
TAPS by Police Detective Frank Castillo.
