Wilbert Recognizes Families of Fallen Officers LEAWOOD,KS— For many people, the month of May signifies the beginning of spring, but for the law enforcement community it means remembering their brothers and sisters who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their life. May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day, a day in which this nation honors peace officers killed in the line of duty from the previous year. A special remembrance ceremony was held in Washington, DC, on the west lawn of the Capitol. In the week leading up to the remembrance ceremony, tens of thousands of peace officers from across the United States converged on Washington to honor and remember the fallen officers. Since 2006, Wilbert has participated in this annual remembrance by presenting framed personalized lithographs to families who lost a loved one in the line of duty. This year from May 11-13, Wilbert honored 222 fallen officers. The number of deaths seems shockingly high; however, when compared to the COVID years of 2021 (563 deaths) and 2022 (443 deaths), the number is receding to more historic levels. During 19 years of participating in police week, Wilbert has presented 3,992 framed personalized lithographs to families whose officer’s name is etched into the wall at the Law Enforcement memorial. Year after year families share their appreciation of Wilbert with statements such as, “you have no idea how much this picture means to us. I was not prepared for this … thank you for this beautiful gift.” During the presentation it is common for family members to also reflect and reminisce about the Stainless Steel Triune burial vault that Wilbert donated to honor their loved one, and when they do, their eyes widen as they recall the artwork on the carapace all while sharing their appreciation for Wilbert’s generosity. The decision Wilbert made 19 years ago to participate in police week coupled with the support the Wilbert licensee network has provided through the first responders program, hits at the core of who Wilbert licensees are … caring, compassionate, dedicated, committed, supportive, and respectful. It is their hope that they continue their participation in police week for many more years to come.
