The Fairfield Police Department on Wednesday, November 11th, honored veterans and recognized three of its own officers who have served in the United States military.
“Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of those who have defended our freedoms,” the department said. “To every veteran, past and present, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your service and sacrifices will never be forgotten.”
The department said it is especially proud to recognize three members who have dedicated themselves to serving both their country and their community — Officer Dylan Fury and Officer Sawyer Mast, both of the Iowa National Guard, and Officer Nate Jones of the Marine Corps Reserve.
“These officers represent the very best of public service, carrying their commitment to duty, honor, and country from military service into law enforcement,” the department said. “Today, we honor the men and women who have served in our nation’s military, including our own officers who continue to serve our community with the same dedication, discipline, and commitment they gave to their country.”
The department closed its statement with a message to all veterans: “Thank you for your courage, your sacrifices, and your service. Our nation is forever indebted to you.”
