Candlelight Vigil Coming Up

Tuesday, 16 September:
  • The 2014 Candlelight Vigil will be held on Tuesday, September 16 at 7:30 PM in Gold Star Families Memorial and Park. All police officers, their families and friends are invited. The ceremony is expected to last an hour and will take place rain or shine.

    As is the tradition of the Candlelight Vigil, the names of all Chicago police officers who died in the line of duty will be read. Those who wish to read the name of a fallen Officer should email Beata.Staszewski@chicagopolice.org.

    Gold Star Families Memorial and Park is located on Chicago Park District grounds near Waldron Drive (in the shadow of Soldier Field). Uniformed CPD personnel will direct attendees to the parking lot at the 18th Street exit off of Lake Shore Drive.
Hope to see you there.

It's a shame how we all talk shit and bash each other on every post, but to hardly ever write something good about the brothers passed or the vigil.

Rest in peace FLASH, BENNY, DARRYL.
You guys are never far

thanks to commissioner scrooge reynolds of 2fm, the city sound crew will not be able to help with this event as they always did in the past.

he would always rather privatize any city service we ever had.
