Mollie Halpern: The FBI and its law enforcement partners pause to remember the service and sacrifices of fallen heroes.

This year, the FBI is adding the names of four special agents to its Wall of Honor, which recognizes FBI employees who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

FBI Director Christopher Wray at the Special Agent Memorial Service…

Director Wray: So it takes a very special kind of person to choose life as a special agent. You’ve got to really want to help people to make that choice. Because every day, when special agents pick up their badges and say goodbye to their families, they know that there’s a chance that they might not make it home that night. 

Halpern: The service comes just days before the start of National Police Week—a time when all fallen law enforcement are honored.
