Calling All Chicago Police Retirees
The 82nd Annual Chicago Police Department St. Jude Memorial March will take place Sunday 4 May 2014. In addition to the various districts and units within the department, a special contingent of Chicago Police Retirees will be represented here as well. All retirees are encouraged to attend and march in this time honored tradition to, "Honor Our Fallen." Retirees will assemble on Museum Campus Drive and Solidarity Drive in preparation for the March. Extended family members and friends are welcome to view the March from the west side of Museum Drive, across from the Park. Since retirees are scheduled to march at the beginning of the parade within the first seven positions between the Gold Star Family Members and Chicago Police Board delegations, it is advised to arrive by 0700 hrs. The March will proceed south on Museum Campus Drive to Waldron Drive and steps off promptly at 0800 hours. Complimentary parking for police personnel and families attending the St. Jude Memorial March will be available in the Waldron Deck Parking Garage, the South lot of Soldier Field, or the North Garage of Soldier Field. All traffic will exit at 18th St. or McFetridge Drive for parking. A traffic detail is assigned to direct you to the parking.
We ask all our fellow retirees to again attend one of the oldest and proudest traditions of our department and continue to send the message to our Gold Star Family members of our commitment to them they will be… ‘Always Remembered.’
