Today marks a somber anniversary for Oregon’s law enforcement family. On September 4, 2001, Oregon State Police Sergeant John Burright, Sr. Trooper Maria Mignano and Albany Police Department Officer Jason Hoerauf were assisting a motorist whose car was disabled along the side of Interstate 5 north of Albany. An inattentive, drowsy driver struck the three officers, killing Sr. Trooper Mignano and Officer Hoerauf instantly. Sergeant Burright was critically wounded and never recovered, dying of his injuries on May 4, 2021.

On the 25th anniversary of this tragedy, we pause to remember the lives and legacies of John, Maria, and Jason. We remember them for the way they lived, and we hold close to our hearts those who love them and miss them every day.

Rest in peace, Sergeant Burright, Sr. Trooper Mignano, and Officer Hoerauf. You will never be forgotten.

The world lost a one-of-a-kind human being on Sunday with the passing of Bob Miller, and our hearts are broken. Bob was a staunch supporter of law enforcement and one of the best friends to the Oregon Fallen Badge Foundation.

Bob used his golden voice to raise awareness of police survivor matters throughout his tenure as the well-loved every-man morning radio host in Portland, and, shortly after his retirement from broadcasting, he joined our board of directors.

Throughout his time on our board and even after he stepped away from it, Bob steadfastly did all he could to support the work we do. Whether it was giving a community talk to filling in as a deputy logistics chief for a line-of-duty death response to drumming up community support for the family of a fallen officer, Bob was there lending his kind heart and charisma.

Thank you to Bob’s family for sharing him with us. We are so sorry for your loss.

To say we’ll miss Bob is a massive understatement. He left a mark on every life he touched, and we are so grateful he blessed us with his love and passion for so long.

Rest in peace, Bob.

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

We’re wishing everyone a safe and Happy Independence Day, and we’re sending a special thank you to our first responders on duty today keeping our communities safe and our military for protecting our freedom.

Happy 250th birthday, United States of America! 🇺🇸
