Respect, honor, remember.

In 2015, 130 officers were killed in the line of duty, said Coeur d'Alene Mayor Steve Widmyer. Coeur d'Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore is among those officers killed, and Widmyer is on a mission to build a water feature at McEuen Park in Coeur d'Alene not only in memory of Moore, but to honor all police officers.

"In talking with Greg's fellow officers, they said Greg would not want this to be just about him — he would want to honor all law enforcement," Widmyer said.

Widmyer is a step closer to that memorial today after the owners of McDonald's in Rathdrum donated 27 percent of all proceeds from their grand re-opening Saturday to Widmyer's "$27 for K27" fundraising campaign. K27 was Moore's call letters, often seen in the area on signs, vehicles, homes and businesses.

Mayors from Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Rathdrum, along with police chiefs and law enforcement officers from Post Falls, Rathdrum and Spirit Lake gathered at the McDonald’s at 7 a.m. Saturday morning to kick off the Rathdrum Days weekend with the K27 Memorial Benefit. After hearing from Widmyer and Rathdrum Mayor Vic Holmes, as well as McDonald's owners Tim and Terri Skubitz, everyone ate breakfast and then officers began taking two-hour shifts to help at the restaurant throughout the day.

Holmes said the Rathdrum Days theme, "We Support All Veterans," goes hand-in-hand with the campaign.

"We're making an effort to show those that take care of us and support us, that we want to take care of them and support them," Holmes said. "The tragic shooting of Sgt. Moore — he wasn't a Rathdrum cop, he wasn't a Post Falls cop, yet we're all here in solidarity because we are tight knit. Even though we are individual communities, we are one community together."

After reading a front-page article in The Press around the one-year anniversary of Moore's death, Tim Skubitz decided to figure out what he could do to help. Just speaking about the article and the community's support for Moore caused Skubitz to become emotional.

"It was so moving," Skubitz said after taking a moment to fight back the tears. "And as soon as I put the invite out to all the mayors I got a huge response back immediately, because it's not just a Coeur d'Alene thing, it hits all of us."

Widmyer said he officially started the fundraising campaign about two months ago. The amount needed for the memorial is $750,000, and when Widmyer divided that amount by $27, the number of individual donations needed is about 27,777. He said there will also be some grant writing and events, such as Saturday's benefit to help fund the memorial.

The water feature at McEuen Park will include three 8-foot tall waterfalls, which will then run into a stream named "Thin Blue Line" to represent law enforcement. Widmyer said the stream will "meander around" with a "reflective pool" at the end and an area for people to sit and reflect. Moore will be memorialized with the waterfalls, which will represent the mantra "respect, honor, remember." Each one will be respectively named "Respect Falls," "Honor Falls and "Remember Falls."

Terri Skubitz said in coordination with Rathdrum Days, they hoped the busy day would bring in a good sum for the fundraiser because she said the memorial will be good for the community and first responders to have a place where they can go to reflect.

"Especially after the events that happened in Dallas, it's even more important that we have a place for people to go 'respect, honor and remember,'" Terri said.

Rathdrum Detective Bill Ray, said he knew Moore, though not as well as his wife, Nancy, a former county dispatcher. Nancy, who is 5-feet tall, said Moore used to call her his "angry little elf."

"I'm not tall in stature, but I make up for it in personality," Nancy said. "He would always make a point to come in when he was on duty."

Bill said even though he didn't know Moore as well as Nancy, being in law enforcement means being on the same team.

"It's been so amazing to see the outpouring and see how this whole event has touched so many different agencies at different levels," he said, adding that, as part of the team that investigated the shooting, it's been "unbelievable" and "tragic" all at the same time.

Rathdrum's interim police chief, Tomi McLean, said she didn't know Moore, yet he was still family, the same as any fellow law enforcement officers are.

"You feel like you know them," McLean said. "You know they are just like you — family, brothers, sisters, spouses — they're just like you."

Donations, in increments of $27, can be made to: K27 Memorial C/O Coeur d'Alene City Hall, 710 E. Mullan Ave., Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814.
