Over the past few days we have paused to remember Illinois’ fallen police officers and firefighters. These are some of the scenes from those two events, starting with a couple of memorial bricks I happened to notice as I bowed my head at the firefighters’ memorial ceremony.
Thank you to all our first responders who serve our communities with great dedication. It does not go unnoticed!
