Nebraska cop soldier honored at Manhattan funeral
Joseph Lemm, a Westchester resident and 15 year NYPD veteran born in Nebraska, was killed in Afghanistan along with five others. Mayor de Blasio praised his Superman like bravery as hundreds gathered at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Lemm’s coffin was saluted by his son and his family heard a reading from Corinthians. He was posthumously promoted to detective first grade by Police Commissioner Bratton. The service reflected a city united in mourning for a local who served in two tours in Afghanistan and one in Iraq.
