An account has been opened to receive donations to send the wife of a deputy who died after a wreck while on call to Washington, D.C., to honor him and other fallen officers.

David Lambert, who was 38, died July 20 from injuries he received in a car crash June 24 while responding to assist another deputy.

Annette Lambert would like to be there to see her husband’s name, and that of other law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty last year, be unveiled on National Police Memorial Wall on May 13.

The ceremony, part of National Police Week observances, will include a presidential presentation to family members.

Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace will attend the ceremony.

Anyone wishing to donate funds for travel, lodging and meal expenses for Annette Lambert and a family escort can mail contributions to Jeanne K. Baxley, chief financial officer, Warren County Sheriff’s Department, 1000 Grove St., Vicksburg, 39183, or contact retired Vicksburg police Sgt. Doug Arp at 601-638-4902.
