These past couple of weeks have been emotional for the people of the Pacific Northwest. We have lost 5 police officers to acts of horrible violence. Along with the rest of the area, we at Three Chicks Catering have been wondering what we can do to help ease the pain. One of the most visually moving acts of support took place on Tuesday during the memorial processional of almost 2,000 police vehicles from McChord Airforce Base to the Tacoma Dome. The streets were lined with thousands of teary eyed citizens who braved the record low temperatures in order to show their support for the men and women behind the badge.
It was a moment where we were all able to stand together, regardless of our individual experiences and opinions, in agreement that we would not stand for this violence. These men and women in blue had given their lives in order to keep us safe, and for that they are forever heroes. Three Chicks Catering was honored to be able to help facilitate the meals for the visiting police force as well. Thank you, caring citizens of Tacoma and the surrounding area, for helping us fill their bellies as a statement of solidarity! May we heal, but never forget.
