ON THE COVER
A Sailor’s Story
Edwin Ogonowski enlisted in the Navy at age 17 and wound up as a gunnery mate on the USS Missouri where the Japanese surrendered to end World War II. He went on to serve 32 years as a Chicago Police Officer, and now, at nearly 93 years old, he relives and recounts the honor of serving his country and serving his City in this special tribute to Veterans.
