Every year the New York Police Department (NYPD) and United States Navy Association come together in an annual day of remembrance to honor those who serve their country as members of the armed forces and the NYPD. The ceremony was held at the NYPD headquarters.
The ceremony began with Lt. Tony Giorgio, head of the NYPD Ceremonial Unit welcoming the men, women and service members in attendance and providing an introduction to the series of events.
The NYPD ceremonial unit performed the national Anthem and did color guard for the event.
Following the National Anthem everyone bowed their heads as Lt. Cmdr. John B. Sears gave the invocation.
The guest speaker for the event was U.S. Fleet Forces Command, Fleet Master Chief Paul Kingsbury.
Kingsbury thanked everyone in attendance and said it was an honor to be in New York and a greater honor to be the guest speaker at the NYPD and Unites States Navy Remembrance ceremony.
NYPD Detective Kevin Gallagher, presented a flag that was flown over the USS Arlington (LPD 24) to Patricia Ann McDonald and her son Conor McDonald.
Her husband was Steven McDonald, a former U.S. Navy hospital corpsman and third generation NYPD officer who was shot in the line of duty on July 12, 1986. He continued to serve the NYPD and passed away January 10, 2017.
The NYPD United States Navy Association created an award in his honor.
Former NYPD officer and U.S. Navy retired Lt. Peter Meehan was awarded the Steven McDonald “Forged by the Sea” award.
