Newsday: Parkway renaming Friday honors fallen NYPD Det. Steven McDonald
How fitting it is that the latest honor for fallen police hero Steven McDonald should be the renaming of a highway for him, replete with road signs. Road signs, doing precisely what he did: giving people direction.
“For generations to come, people from all over New York City and Long Island will see his name and wonder: Who was Det.
