Yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of the death of Officer Craig Story, a figure still honored and remembered by the Arlington Police Department and the community he served. In a solemn commemoration, colleagues, family members, and the department gathered to pay respects to an individual whose sacrifice has not been forgotten. The memorial took place at Officer Story's marker on S. Cooper Street, a testament to a life dedicated to public service.
Captured in a social media post by the Arlington Police Department, the tribute highlighted the deep emotional connection between the fallen officer and his colleagues. "Craig -- we love you and we miss you everyday brother," the post read. It is a reminder, set in the digital permanence of our time, that the people behind the badges often form bonds akin to family—a family that grieves for those lost in the fulfillment of their duty.
Officer Craig Story died in the line of duty on January 13, 2010, and is survived by a legacy of valor and commitment to the Arlington community.
