Sometimes you drive over a bridge named in honor of someone. You might glance at a sign with a name along a stretch of highway.
A plaque.
In memoriam.
A tribute.
A place named to honor, to remember.
It might be a soldier, a notable person, a hero.
I wondered about the name on this street sign- Police Officer James P. Leahy- when I took the picture but didn’t look him up until tonight
I saw this sign when I was visiting my sister
Here’s what I found
“Officer James Leahy was killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks while attempting to rescue the victims trapped in the World Trade Center.”
