Whereas, with the current vicious and despicable attacks being waged against the law enforcement officers around the country today, and
Whereas, law enforcement officers are the domestic protectors of our citizens, our society and our way of life, and

Now therefore, the following proclamation is hereby published to the Confederation:
Thursday, August the 16th of 2018 shall be proclaimed as National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Camps, Brigades and Divisions are hereby highly encouraged to show their support to their local law enforcement officials on this day by any and all means appropriate on this day.
