Ireland Police Superintendent travels to Bridgeport to meet Chicago Hero – CPD Officer Danny Golden

Neighborhood Journal

Across the pond, Ireland’s Police Superintendent Eddie Golden read about Chicago Police Officer Danny Golden who was paralyzed in a shooting. He wanted to meet Danny and contacted some friends in Chicago to arrange a meeting. On Monday evening at Cork & Kerry At The Park in Bridgeport they met.

The weather was perfect, the bar packed with family, friends, and neighbors of Danny. The Bagpipes & Drums of the Emerald Society filled the walls with Irish music as the drums beat lightly, the bagpipes played softly as they marched slowly through the narrow isle to honor Danny. A humbling experience felt by all.
