A tree was lit at the Lower Southampton Library with blue holiday lights to honor police officers that gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Members of the Feasterville Business Association, township officials, police officers and members of the community gathered outside of the Lower Southampton Township Library to light a tree in honor of fallen police officers.

The tree will remain lit throughout the holiday season in honor of officers that made the ultimate sacrifice. A tree will also be lit at the Lower Southampton Police Department during the holidays.
