Nick & Gene, 11 Years Later

Each year on the 14^th of March, we remember two of our officers killed in the line of duty. We begin at the 6^th Precinct where they served. Parents and family members light a candle under the plaque commemorating their lives, their service and their deaths. Then we walk to the corner of Bleecker and Sullivan Streets a few blocks away for another brief ceremony. This year the Police Commissioner and several Chiefs joined.  It was a good turnout. 

Nick and Gene were good guys and their deaths probably save other lives. At least we hope so. 

 Nick was 28. Gene was 19.

 Rest easy my brothers.
