Description
At National Police Week 2011 (an annual even to honor Law Enforcement Officers killed in the line of duty), I came across this little boy wearing a Chicago Police uniform. He was sitting on the memorial wall, playing with his retro police cars. I couldn't help but snap a photo, as he was so well dressed and completely involved with his toys. It was only after his mother called him away that I noticed the tag he was wearing in honor of his father, a Chicago Police Officer, who was killed in the line of duty just the year before. My interpretation of this image was forever changed in that moment.
