A Washington-based not-for-profit is responsible for the travelling memorial of fallen law enforcement officers to Galesburg Wednesday as part of an annual trip.

"Beyond the Call of Duty" is part motorcycle ride, as well as part memorial for the public to see during their stops.  Allison McCarter is the organization's coordinator, and talked with Will Stevenson on Galesburg's Evening News.
