The Milwaukee Police Association, I.U.P.A. Local #21 posted their thanks recently to House of Harley-Davidson for dedicating a permanent wall honoring the badges of fallen officers.

I.U.P.A. Local #21 posted about it on social media, “Today was a powerful reminder that Milwaukee never forgets its heroes. The Milwaukee Police Association extends our deepest gratitude to House of Harley-Davidson for dedicating a permanent wall honoring the badges of our fallen officers – a tribute that ensures their service and sacrifice will always be remembered.”

They continued, “This morning, the family members of fallen Milwaukee Police Officer Kendall Corder – both blood and blue – gathered at the House to see his badge newly added to that wall. It was a moment filled with pride, remembrance, and reflection, as MPA Chaplain George Papachristou offered a prayer.”

I.U.P.A. Local #21 continued, “Officer Corder gave his life in service to this community. Seeing his badge honored in such a meaningful and permanent way reminds his loved ones – and all of us – that his sacrifice will never be forgotten.”

They closed with, “We are profoundly grateful to House of Harley-Davidson and to the many Milwaukee-area businesses that stand beside our officers every day. Their support sends a powerful message: that those who wear the badge, and those who have given everything while wearing it, are valued, remembered, and honored. Milwaukee remembers. Milwaukee honors. Milwaukee stands with its officers. We Shall Never Forget #theforcebehindtheforce”
