The keynote speaker for this year's service will be Len Munsil, a third-generation Arizonan who has an accomplished record as a public policy expert, an organizational entrepreneur, an attorney, a journalist, and an author. In 2006, he won the Republican primary for Governor of Arizona.

This year’s ceremony will include a tribute to federal officers killed in the line of duty, musical selections and bagpipes.

The ceremony will commence at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 17, 2007, in the red brick building just south of the FBI office, 201 East Indianola, Phoenix , Arizona. Those planning to attend should arrive no later than 9:45 a.m. to allow time to check in and set up equipment without detracting from the solemnity of the event. This ceremony will last an estimated hour.
