This week is National Police Week, a time to honor the fallen officers who have served their community and have died in the line of duty. While the above photo doesn't feature a police officer, it does feature Sarah of Vida Pour Tea. Sarah's tea shop is offering a complimentary cup of tea or coffee to police officers this week. Look for the blue ribbons on State Street.
Whether you are a business or private citizen who wants to honor the police, consider displaying blue ribbons. The police, our public servants, are always appreciative of community support. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the whole week as Police Week. Larger cities, like Washington D.C., may celebrate in a larger way, however, even smaller communities, like Greensboro, have men in blue who also like to feel appreciated. Thank you Vida Pour Tea for supporting the men in blue!
That's fantastic! I will share this as well.

There is a similar occasion here, but later in the year.
