Thursday, we paid tribute to Illinois police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty over the last year. The Fallen Peace Officers Memorial Ceremony is a somber event that reminds us of the bravery and strength of our men and women who wear the badge. We were honored to stand beside law enforcement officers from across Illinois this morning to honor our fallen heroes and their families. May their sacrifice never be forgotten.
