St Jude Coverage

A couple of the media sites have coverage of the March this year:

  • Members of law enforcement and their families gathered downtown Sunday morning to honor fallen officers during the annual Saint Jude Memorial March.

    Thousands of police officers are making the solemn procession, which began at 8 a.m. at North Michigan Avenue and East Superior Street. The march travels north to East Chicago Avenue, where it then turns west on Chicago Ave. to North Clark Street. The parade is scheduled to end between 10 and 11 a.m.

    Gold Star families gathered to look on for the program, held annually to remember the 606 Chicago police officers who have been killed in the line of duty and to honor the sacrifices of their loved ones.

God Bless all of the Fallen.

Can someone tell the First Deputy Superintendent to pull her hair up behind her ears and off of her collar before attending an honorable event? She refuses to follow rules. She refuses to be and to sat good examples in her professional and personal life.

I know people are pissed at the fact that BJ showed up, but fact of the matter is, that at least he showed up. Little Richie never showed up, and I think the others didn't either. The more pressing issue is the sloppiness of some of our members and the horrible condition of their uniforms. You're honoring our fallen, show some respect and clean up your appearance.

I tried going down to the parade site at about 9:30 AM and it was all over, not a soul in sight. Disappointed, as all the announcements said the parade was going from 8:30 (?) to 10:00.

St. Jude is an embarrassing. Yes it gets you out of inspection but maybe take some time to get the uniform pressed after balling it up in your closet for the year.

One third of the officer's there looked like a bag of ass. If we're honoring our fallen don't show up if you look like sausage stuffed into a casing.

as usual, the media didn't cover any of it hardly at all, but they have a whole segment for wicker Park libtards with three different colors of hair droning on about nonsense. So glad I don't watch local news anymore and I'm moving out of state next month.

Its was my last march at St Jude. I brought my wife and kids. I thought I would make it through without shedding a tear but when my daughter ran out and joined our formation I lost it.

Thank you CPD, CCSP and suburban Officers for 26 years of backing us Troopers up. We could not do our job without your dedication.

To the families and friends of all our fallen brothers. May peace be with you, fair winds and calm seas.

Totally agree. This one marked the last one for me after 27 years. Proud to say that my original dress uniform still fits without any alterations. Attended mass at Holy Name after the march. Was very disappointed that a Blue mass was not taking place. May God always bless the men and women of the CPD and may we never, ever forget the fallen.

If I die in the LOD I told my family to tell the mayor to go F himself, tell the dept to do GF themselves and to make sure none of the bosses from srgts up are to attend my services. Matter of fact family and friends only!! Don't have me in this clown outfit in my casket either. This job didnt define me nor does it represent my life .. it was a job that paid the bills period!
F this profession and the people i was paid to "protect".

Thats too bad.

From now until the day I die, every policeman will be my brother.
I am proud to say I was the Chicago Po-lice, always will.

The job had changed, but not the majority of coppers out there. This is why I slow down when I see them on a T-stop, why I pray for them, and why I cry when they are murdered.

Stay alert, stay alive, my friends!
