The California Peace Officers Memorial Foundation Inc is a non-profit organization located in Lake Elsinore, California. The foundation was established in 1977 with the aim of honoring and remembering California’s fallen peace officers who have died in the line of duty. It acts as a support system for the families of these officers, helping them cope with the loss of their loved ones by providing financial and emotional assistance.

The foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees that is comprised of active and retired peace officers, legal professionals, and community leaders. The foundation works in collaboration with local and state law enforcement agencies, organizations, and individuals to support the families of fallen peace officers. It also provides scholarships to the children of these officers to help them achieve their educational goals.

The foundation’s biggest event is the annual California Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremony, which is held in Sacramento and honors those who have died in the line of duty. The ceremony is attended by law enforcement officers, families of fallen officers, and members of the public. The foundation also holds other events throughout the year to raise awareness about its mission and to honor the fallen officers.

Overall, the California Peace Officers Memorial Foundation Inc is a vital organization that plays a crucial role in honoring and supporting the families of fallen peace officers in California.

Perris / downtown (# 0022) Though small, downtown Perris was in good shape with multiple, active, small businesses and many customers.

The town is quite historic by Southern California suburban standards. It was founded in 1885 as a railroad town and is named after Fred Perris of the California Southern Railroad. (<u><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia Perris,_California" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Perris</a></u>.)

Perris / Perris Theater (# 0018) Opened in 1946, designed in an art-deco style but apparently modified at various times. It’s now owned by the city for its historical value to downtown, but closed due to structural problems.

Pictures in the below links show the theater as once having a marquee around the base of the tall sign.

The day I visited the museum there was almost no one there, which made it easier to explore the grounds but I didn’t get into any of the car barns. Pictures from visiting those at a previous time are with the tag to Southern California Railway Museum.

Perris / SoCal Rail Museum UP 2564 (# 0007) Originally built in 1921 for a Union Pacific subsidiary and traded UP subsidiary “Oregon Short Line” in 1923 where it was used until 1955. Retired in 1959 and wound up at this museum in 1997. See:

KC-10A Extender Conceptualized as the next generation of aerial tankers the KC-l0 combined the tasks of a tanker and cargo aircraft. Carrying more than 356,000 pounds of fuel - twice as much as the KC-135 Stratotanker – 75 personnel, and 170,000 pounds of cargo, the KC-10 could transport entire units of support personnel while re-fueling their deploying fighters enroute. The KC-10 could also be used to transport litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations.

Unlike previous re-fuelers, the KC-10's boom operator controls refueling operations through a digital, fly-by wire system. Sitting in the rear of the aircraft, the operator can see the receiver aircraft through a wide window. During boom refueling operations, fuel is transferred to the receiver at a maximum rate of 1,100 gallons per minute.

The KC-10 fleet was used extensively during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1991, Operation Allied Force in 1999 and during the War on Terror following the September 11, 2001, attack.

The museum’s KC-10 Extender tail number 84-0185 was built in Long Beach California and delivered to the United Sates Air Force, March AFB in September 1984 with subsequent assignments to Travis AFB. It was flown to March Field Air Museum in 2023 for permanent display. It remains on loan from the NMUSAF.
