COVER STORY

The annual Chicago Lodge 7 Memorial Service offered honor and remembrance to families of officers lost in the line of duty from the past year, and especially a wife and daughter who waited nearly 20 years for recognition that meant so much to them. Members also gathered to provide support and make it a special day to remember for all who attended.
