The Brenham community showed up in large numbers to support the men and women in blue at the Washington County Courthouse Friday morning, and to join in a moment of silence.

Numerous city and county officials were present for the remembrance, including Sheriff Otto Hanak, Judge Carson Campbell, acting Police Chief Dant Lange, and Commissioner Joy Fuchs, who organized the event.

Randy Wells, of Faith Mission, followed the other speakers in thanking the community for the support of law enforcement locally, and around the area, especially remembering the family of Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Goforth, who was gunned down last Friday while putting gas his patrol unit.

  2. It’s so great to see my hometown come together, first for Blue Bell and then the men in blue. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Goforth family and the families of all the policemen so brutally murdered. And I can spot my sister just like we used to spot our dad–with the snow-white hair!

  3. My deapest sympathy to all the Family that have lost loved ones that served in the Law Enforcement. Thank you to all the Officers for their sacrificial service to our country.
