MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- It is a Memorial Day of sorts in Milwaukee County. 

There was a somber procession to the War Memorial Center downtown for the annual Regional Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony.

It honors officers from the police department, the sheriff's office and other agencies who have died in the line of duty over the years. 

Among those honored Wednesday, May 6, was Milwaukee Police Officer Kendall Corder, who was shot and killed last June. 

"For the families of the fallen, the pain does not fade with time.  It does not end after the headlines are gone or when the trials are over," said Alexander Ayala, president of the Milwaukee Police Association. "It lives with them every single day.  And while we cannot take the pain away, we can make sure they never have to carry that alone."

Wednesday's speakers also included Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman and Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul.
