  COVER STORY

 True Spirit
Two thumbs up do not begin to convey the comfort and strength Chicago Police Officers have felt from the way Ella French’s mom, Elizabeth, Carlos Yanez Jr. and Josh Blas have helped everybody recover from that tragic night of Aug. 7. Their amazing resilience, as well as heartfelt thoughts from Junior and his family, have lifted up the Department, the City and people around the world.
