During Breast Cancer Awareness month in October 2013, the White House was lit pink. After the Supreme Court ruled a ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, the White House was bathed in rainbow colors. After five police officers were executed in Dallas and another four were assassinated in Baton Rouge, the Obama administration refused to light the White House blue in their honor.

Over the weekend a group of conservatives, led by Michelle Malkin, took matters into their own hands by descending on the White House with blue lights as a tribute to fallen law enforcement officers around the country. They've deemed every Friday as #BlueLightFriday so people never forget the sacrifices made every day.
Honoring the memories of fallen law enforcement officers when the White House won't, well done.
