Spanish Civil Guard and National Police have joined this idea born in Poland

Blue Honor: an international initiative to pay tribute to fallen police officers

Every July 24 since 1995, Poland celebrates Święto Policji (Police Day), a holiday dedicated to honoring fallen police officers on duty.

Apel Pamięci: the ceremony of the Polish Army to honor its fallen for the Homeland
Military tunes for the fallen of Poland and Germany sounded together in the Bundestag

This celebration, which was already held during the Second Polish Republic between the world wars, gave rise to an initiative on social networks titled Niebieski Honor (Blue Honor), to honor the men and women of the Police who have died in compliance of their duty, and that consists of publishing a tribute video on Twitter with the hashtags #BlueHonour or #NiebieskiHonor. The text released by the Polish Police on this initiative states:

"Every day, thousands of policemen and policewomen from all over the world go to work to make you feel safe. They fulfill their duties with full commitment and dedication. Some people pay the highest price for it. We do not raise money. We do not support any idea. We do not protest. We are not making demands. We are not fighting. We simply want to pay tribute to the police officers and female police officers who died in the act of service."

We remember! Pamiętamy!
