Ceremony Unveiling The “Peace Officers Memorial Highway” Signs.

On Tuesday, July 22, at 10:00 a.m. there will be a  ceremony unveiling the  “Peace Officers Memorial Highway” signs. The signs are located at State Highway 358 east and Agnes Street. The ceremony will be held at the Agnes Street on ramp to State Highway 358 east in the grassy median.​  The signs are the final phase of this memorial that started off as House Bill 3831, which passed in the last legislative session.  It was authored by South Texas Representatives Abel Herrero, Todd Hunter and Senator “Chuy” Hinojosa. The portion of State Highway 358 from Interstate Highway 37 to State Highway 286  is designated as the “Peace Officers Memorial Highway”.

Private funds were raised to pay for the manufacturing and installation of the two signs. ​Everyone  is encouraged to attend the ceremony as the signs are unveiled in remembrance of those officers that paid the ultimate sacrifice.
