Sure, there are the playoffs (NHL and NBA, to check off as many boxes for demographic groups as possible) and/or Cinco de Mayo festivities, but let's take a moment to pause and join in with those honoring Chicago's fallen police officers this weekend.
Yesterday was the Run to Remember, and today was the St. Jude Police Memorial March. And, according to the news, thousands participated on what ended up being a beautiful spring day on the city's lakeshore.
So on this day, we honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty and those who accepted a life-ending mission to protect the community whilst upholding the greater good -- our city's fallen heroes. (Besides -- the playoffs continue all week long -- well -- hopefully.)
