One of the many things DPSOA/DPSTF does advocating at the Legislature is to get memorial highway bills passed for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Donations from you have helped us to secure funding for half of the dozen memorials that were passed in the 87th Legislature. Trooper Walkers' is the first one that will be dedicated.
