A Danbury Police Constable's name has been added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. 

Danbury Police said yesterday, Peace Officers Memorial Day, that members of the Department's Honor Guard participated in the the National Police Memorial Candlelight Vigil for fallen Police Officers on Monday.  Department officials say they are honored to know that Constable Fredrick Ellis will be memorialized along side the 21,910 Police Officers who have given their lives in service to their communities. 

Ellis was assisting at a structure fire when he suffered a fatal heart attack in 1964. 

The name of a fallen veteran was also added to the memorial.  Staff Sgt. TJ Lobraico Jr of Sherman had his name listed on the memorial as well.  The New Milford native was killed in Afghanistan in 2013 during his second deployment with the Air Force's 105th Security Forces Squadron. 

The 22-year old was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor in 2015.
