Narrative:
After inflight service was completed; realized I had served two law enforcement officers (leos) beer. I did confirm on paperwork they were armed and let them know right after that I had made a mistake and they were not to ask for alcohol while flying as armed leos. I looked in the manual and believe this was a company policy; could not find if it was an far as well.I completely forgot they were traveling as leos. The other flight attendant and I were chatting with them casually during the flight about food to eat in their destination. No other possible explanation; I was not thinking at the time. I was very tired and had not slept well the night before.
