One of NYC's Finest, Fallen
By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft
Last week, New York City's midtown was choked with traffic--streets were blocked off around St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. I saw groups of NYC policemen and women, in dark blue suits, shirts, and ties, standing and talking in somber voices.
There was a funeral going on for a policeman killed in the line of duty. He had been a Marine before serving in NYC to protect us.
Police commissioners from all over the Tri-State area sent motorcycles to NYC, to serve in the procession.
The bike with the yellow gas can is from Newark, NJ.
The motorcycles were parked on Madison Avenue, waiting for the funeral to end. There were hundreds of bikes.
A view of the motorcycle cortege that preceded the hearse with the fallen hero.
Hundreds of red and blue lights flashed as the motorcycles proceeded down 42nd Street, at Bryant Park.
