A proclamation by the Falls Church City Council Monday night was signed by Mayor David Tarter in memory of Sergeant Dale Toler, a “respected member of the Falls Church Sheriff’s Office,” who died July 31.

According to the proclamation, Sgt. Toler was the Reserves Coordinator for the F.C. Sheriff’s Office and a member of the office since 2007. He served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War as a helicopter pilot and then continued his service flying fighter jets with the Maryland National Guard.
