A first-of-its-kind memorial was unveiled in Rockwall Saturday to honor first responders and members of the military who've died by suicide.
Families from around the nation convened in Rockwall Saturday for the unveiling of a first-of-its-kind memorial.
Among the names is Metropolitan Police Department Officer Jeffrey Smith, who died by suicide days after he was assaulted during the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Like many at Saturday’s ceremony, Erin traveled in from out of state to see her husband’s name unveiled."These individuals are humans. They were friends. They were loved ones. They were mothers. They were fathers, and their families just want a place they can go and today they have that,” she said."It means everything. It means his life wasn't in vain,” said Calderon.
