The phrase "in valor there is hope" is associated with police memorials, and I've seen the phrase in a lot of signatures here. It's a beautiful phrase. But what does it really mean, and where does it come from? Why is there hope in valor? What is being hoped for? Who is doing the hoping?

As long as people show valor in their actions to protect others, there will be hope for our society.

I tagged him for ya fellas....right between the eyes. :D
"Cheshire Puss," she began, rather timidly... "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where..." said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

Awesome answer, Valor--short but clear and powerful. Straight from the Valor's mouth....
And thanks for the grammatical correction, Txinvestigator.

I'm looking for Drug/Narcotic Unit patches together with DUI/DWI unit patches for a frame in our Anti-Drug-Team bureau

HOPE:
You sleep soundly. And even though crime can never be defeated, it has been kept "at bay" in your city tonight, thanks to us.
