Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland Memorial Day ceremony featured a speech by Sergeant Dave Corlett, an Army veteran who served in Iraq and a 31-year member of the Cincinnati Police Department. An already somber crowd grew silent as he spoke and told the stories of three friends and colleagues, fallen American heroes who died unreasonably young.
Sergeant Corlett is the founder of the Military Liaison Group within the Cincinnati Police Department and an instructor with the Hamilton County Mental Health Crisis Teams. He has worked with Veterans Affairs and the local court system to improve relations between military veterans and law enforcement. His efforts have been recognized by the Department of Justice (DOJ), and he was the winner of the DOJ’s 2021 L. Anthony Sutin Award for Innovative Law Enforcement and Community Partnerships.
Before joining the Cincinnati Police Department in 1992, Sergeant Corlett was a member of the United States Army. He was assigned to Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 24th Aviation Regiment where he served in Iraq during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield.
Loveland Magazine takes great pride in honoring and remembering the brave men and women who have served our country. This Memorial Day, we invite everyone to come together, pay tribute to the fallen heroes, and celebrate the freedom and values they have fought for and died to protect. We honor the sacrifice of so many families.
An Extraordinary Plea
Dear Loveland Area Friends,
We are one keystroke and one shutter click away from a technological disaster.
We work from 11-year-old computers and an eight-year-old video camera. This video took perhaps 20 hours longer to edit and produce than it should have because of the antiquated equipment we use.
If you see yourself in this video, a loved one, a best friend, or your favorite Veteran, will you please consider making a donation today?

With great appreciation and love,
