It's been 23 years since Eyewitness News streamed this live look at Lower Manhattan during the nightly news. It was then that thousands of people — including hero cops and firefighters — unknowingly spent final hours with their loved ones. We must #NeverForget.

It wasn’t the shield on NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller’s chest that motivated him to go toward the danger on the fateful evening he was murdered, but his heart beneath. It was also this heart that was clearly filled with love — made clear by the inspiring remarks of his courageous wife. Jonathan was a guardian of NYC, and now a guardian at the gates of heaven. Together we must #NeverForget. I’d like to share an eloquent message I received from Southampton Village Police Officer Keghilian after he returned from today’s funeral service. “It’s unfortunate, but the usual overwhelming show of support from law enforcement and being in awe of the well-executed ceremony is a given. What was extraordinary today was the fallen Officer's spouse, Stephanie Diller's eulogy, and the courage she showed today. Had she sat quietly and melted in her pew during the church service and sleepwalked through the day, wishing the nightmare of having to endure her husband’s funeral would just end, nobody would have blamed her. Given her circumstance as a young widow with a one-year-old boy, it probably would have been expected. Instead, she stood at that podium and eulogized her husband. Something I never have recalled happening in my career. In addition, she reiterated the effects of the personal tragedy this criminal caused by his senseless act. For that moment, she was the strongest person in the room and gave all who were there to carry her through the day a lift. In addition, she herself, very eloquently without raising her voice, screamed at the top of her lungs how policy has failed our police and that cops count and cops matter. She left no doubt she is just as brave an individual as anyone in attendance, including her deceased husband.“

A solemn salute tonight in Chicago as mourning bands will once again be worn for a brave cop who was shot and killed in the line of duty. My prayers are with the officer’s family — and the men and women of the Chicago Police who continue to patrol the city. #NeverForget

Being a cop can reward you like no other profession — but it can also demand everything in return. For NYPD Detectives Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, that day came 11 years ago, when they were assassinated — targeted for the uniform they proudly wore and the responsibility they embraced to protect others. These heroes served each day believing in the possibility of a city free from crime and disorder. Our vow to #NeverForget them will remain forever unwavering.

On Feb. 26, 1988, NYPD Officer Eddie Byrne was shot & killed—ambushed —as he sat in his patrol car guarding a witness. A cop for only 7 months, his murder impacted policing across America. We will #NeverForget his legacy of heroism, service, and sacrifice.

James Earl Jones will forever be an icon of The Silver Screen and the NYPD. His voice can be heard at the start of every department ceremony from police academy graduations to promotion ceremonies. His staunch support for New York’s Finest is echoed in his words — “Heroes, Always Heroes.”
