Officer Down Memorial Page

For State Highway Patrol Officer Frank J. Hossler:

Our duty as law officers who patrol takes us onto one of the most dangerous battlefields - a United States highway. No matter the amount of training, nor the caution exercised by any of us, the tragic result of a crash can bring us serious injury or death. We regret that our brother Frank had to become a statistic in the fifties. The carnage continues to this day - a concomitant of rapid transportation.

We pray for Frank's family, friends, co-workers and all who care about him. Our wish is that his memory of valiant service never fades from among them.

I am proud to render Patrol Officer Frank J. Hossler and final salute.

Cpl. Ralph D. Fiorenza (Ret.)
