U.S. Flag of Honor Tributes Fallen Bushnell Police Officer

MIAMI, FL, Aug 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
The United States Flag of Honor will arrive in Bushnell, Florida on
Monday, August 11th to honor Fallen Officer Sandra Joyce Bullock, who was
killed last week in a traffic accident. Investigator Bullock was a
veteran police officer with 15 years of service to the Bushnell Police
Department. "Honoring Sandra is the right thing to do. Heroes should be
remembered. Sandra is a superhero and will never be forgotten," said
Chris Heisler, President and CEO of The Honor Network.

The flag will be displayed next to the casket during funeral services for
Bullock at the First Baptist Church of Bushnell. This is the second time
that the flag will arrive with full honors at Tampa International Airport
in the past year. The flag will arrive on an American Airlines flight
early Monday morning.

The United States Flag of Honor travels around the country to memorialize
men and women in the armed forces, law enforcement and firefighting who
have died in the line of duty. In saluting thousands of fallen heroes, the
flag has been to over a dozen states and the District of Columbia, as well
as to U.S. combat zones in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar.

The United States Flag of Honor was flying over the Texas Capitol during
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Shortly afterward, Texas Gov.
Rick Perry sent that American flag and a Texas state flag to New York
City. What later became known as the United States Flag of Honor was
presented to then-New York Gov. George Pataki at New York Police
Department headquarters in recognition of police officers and
firefighters who lost their lives in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The
flag then was flown over Ground Zero at the World Trade Center site.

Upcoming events for the flag include the National Firefighters Memorial
and the United States Presidential Inauguration.
