On Sunday, August 2nd at 2:00 p.m. Plymouth F.O.P. Lodge 195 will be placing a wreath at Indiana State Motor Carrier Officer Ray Reed’s Memorial located approximately one mile west of the Wal-Mart intersection on U.S. 30 in Plymouth.
For many of you that didn’t know Ray Reed, he lost his life while performing his duties on August 3rd 1995. This will be the 20th year anniversary. Indiana MCI Ray Reed was killed in the line of duty on US 30 in Marshall County while inspecting a semi tractor-trailer.
Inspector Reed was the first Indiana State Police motor carrier inspector to be killed in the line of duty. Since his death, the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division has honored Reed by annually selecting a motor carrier inspector who excels in his or her work and demonstrates the qualities of a model employee.
The wreath ceremony on Sunday will be a very casual event with a prayer and placing of the wreath. The public is welcome to attend the ceremony that will start promptly at 2:00pm.
