Ella French is the lone Chicago police offer to die in the line of duty within the past year. She’s now honored in the Gold Star Memorial. The march honors her and so many others in a longtime tradition to commemorate the sacrifice these officers make each day on the job.
It’s another event making its first return since the pandemic halted it in 2019, so there’s a special feel of unity as these first responders march together Sunday.
