Honoring All Who Served 🇺🇸

Today, on Veterans Day, we proudly honor the brave men and women who have served our great Nation. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice safeguard the freedoms we cherish every day.

To every veteran, and to the families who stood beside them, thank you. Your service and strength inspire us all.

We honor you today and always. 💙
#VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #HonorAndRespect

Today we honor Las Vegas Police Department Officer Wilbur McGee, who died on this day in 1955.

On November 11, 1955, Officer McGee was investigating an early morning burglary in which $300 in coins were taken. Unbeknownst to the victim of the burglary, two pistols were also stolen, as well as a pellet gun and a 22-caliber revolver.

Later in the day, Officer McGee received a call that the suspect was at a local downtown motel. When Officer McGee arrived at the hotel, he heard the desk clerk talking to the suspect in a loud voice. The suspect surrendered the pellet gun, but as the officer was handcuffing him, he pulled a second gun from his waistband and shot Officer McGee four times. As Officer McGee lay mortally wounded, the suspect took the officer’s revolver and fled out the back door of the hotel. When he was captured a short time later, he was still carrying the slain officer’s revolver.

Officer McGee was 33 when he died and had served on the Department for 17 months. He was survived by his wife.

We will never forget.
