RIP Officer Natalie Corona
End of Watch: January 10, 2019
Dear Patriotic American,
It was Natalie Corona's lifelong dream to become a police officer.
And her patience, hard work, and preparation finally paid off when she was sworn in last August.
She was quickly recognized for her commitment to helping people and was a fast-rising star in the department.
Natalie had only been patrolling on her own for just two weeks when, on January 10, she was called out to investigate a minor, three-car collision in town.
It was supposed to be a routine call, but she no doubt approached it with the same eagerness and excitement she always did.
It was supposed to be a routine call...
...but while investigating the accident, a man on a bicycle rode slowly up beside Natalie and opened fire on her without warning. She was struck in the neck and immediately went down.
As Natalie lay helpless on the ground bleeding from the bullet hole in her neck, her attacker emptied his entire magazine into her...
... reloaded ... fired again.
Officer Natalie Corona never had a chance. She was 22 years old.
Her life was highlighted throughout with bravery, devotion to duty, and an eagerness to serve.
Thousands of people attended Natalie's funeral and watched a brief interview in which Natalie revealed what it meant to be a police officer:
"It truly has to be in your heart. You will overcome any other challenges that are thrown at you."
Law enforcement officers like Natalie Corona put their lives on the line day-in and day-out to protect us from harm and preserve our way of life.
It's bad enough our brave men and women must face real threats from dangerous criminals every day...
...but now politicians with radical agendas are intentionally inciting hatred and violence towards police for their own selfish gain.
And its officers like Natalie Corona who pay the
price.
