COVER STORY
PAGE 30
The Chicago Lodge 7 Memorial Ser- vice once again provided a day of honor, tributes and comfort to fam- ily members of fallen officers. And to Chicago Police Officers as well. A special sentiment filled the FOP Hall that made this gathering intimate, heartfelt and meaningful, and those who attended, including the spouses of the fallen, expressed their feelings about what made the day so special.
