EMPHASIS: Patrol To Honor 2006 Heroes


On Saturday April 21, 2007 the Missouri State Highway Patrol will honor some of its employees at its17th annual awards ceremony and banquet. The 2007 awards ceremony and banquet will be held at the Holiday Inn Select-Executive Center, located at 2200 I-70 Drive S.W., in Columbia, MO. The awards ceremony will begin immediately following the banquet, which begins at 6:30 p.m.
The media is invited to observe, video, photograph, and record the awards ceremony as we honor our heroes of 2006.
The MASTERS’ 28th annual meeting is held earlier in the day and coincides annually with the awards ceremony and banquet. The MASTERS (Missouri Association of State Troopers Emergency Relief Society) is a nonprofit organization formed by concerned citizens in 1979. Its sole purpose is to support families of those troopers killed in the line of duty. Each year, to show its appreciation, the Patrol invites members of The MASTERS to attend the awards ceremony.
