BEAR, Del. -- Delaware police officers found a new way to honor slain state Trooper Stephen Ballard.

Members of the "Police Unity Tour Chapter 9" are taking part in a memorial ride from Philadelphia to Washington D.C.

Wednesday night they stopped at State Police Troop 2 in Bear, where Corporal Ballard was assigned, and each of them paid humble respects to his grieving widow by giving her a carnation.

The ride should reach D.C. by Friday.
