Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Gift Shop Relocates
As PQLiving suspected, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial gift shop and visitor’s center is moving to a retail space at 400 7th Street NW (previously Motophoto). According to the Memorial’s website, the new location should open this Thursday.
