This year’s celebration will be held at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas.
Sgt. Pennie states the holiday Celebration Dinner is organized each year in continuous support of families of fallen officers in the Dallas/Fort Worth region. Sgt. Pennie states “This celebration is designed to provide the families with an opportunity to reunite, re-engage and display our continuous support. I recognize the constant burden that these families must bare and this annual celebration is the least that we can do. We’re committed to letting these families know they will never be forgotten.”
Retired U.S. Army Captain Chad Fleming is this year’s keynote speaker. Sgt. Pennie stated Fleming was chosen because of his “Never Quit” message.
