The Steve Young Memorial Scholarship The FOP, Department of Labor is paying tribute to the late National
President Steve Young by dedicating a million grant program in his honor,
which will supplement resources to the families of fallen officers. Steve
Young worked diligently with the U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and the Department of Labor to develop a scholarship program to provide training and educational assistance to the spouses of fallen officers. This program and the supplemental financial assistance will help these spouses and their families regain footing, begin to rebuild their lives, enter the workforce and help those looking to upgrade their skills or explore new career opportunities. For scholarship updates and information on how and when to begin the
application process for the program, please visit the website at www.grandlodgefop.org. You can also contact Project Director Pam Schultz at the National Legislative Office at 202-547-8189 or by emailing
scholarship@grandlodgefop.org. To read more about the Steve Young Memorial Scholarship, please visit

Museum To Tell Stories Behind The Names
Following is an excerpt from an article written by Memorial Fund Chairman Craig W. Floyd about the future National Law Enforcement Museum that is scheduled to be built across from the Memorial in Washington, D.C. The article was published in the January 2003 issue of AMERICAN POLICE BEAT.
"The enormity of the sacrifice is clear to any visitor to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. There are 16,000 names on the marble walls of that national monument, with hundreds more added every year. Each of those officers paid the ultimate price working to preserve public safety. They deserve to be honored and remembered. But, unless you were a friend, colleague or loved one, the inspiring stories
behind the names are mostly unknown. All of that will change, though, when a new museum, which was approved by Congress two years ago, opens its doors right across the street from the Memorial."
