Florida Post Office Renamed for Fallen Police Officer
Aug. 30, 2021
"Today is just yet another day we get to see the community honor a hero and remember his wonderful legacy," said Windermere's police chief during the rededication of a city post office in honor of Officer Robert German.
A fallen Florida police officer was remembered Sunday in a special ceremony that renamed a post office in his honor.
Windermere Post Office now bears the name of Officer Robert German, WOFL-TV reports. U.S. Rep. Val Demings hosted the rededication event, and German's parents were on hand for the unveiling of a plaque in the late officer's honor.
"Today is just yet another day we get to see the community honor a hero and remember his wonderful legacy," Police Chief Dave Ogden said.
German was fatally shot in the line of duty during an encounter with two teenage runaways in March 2014. The two teens also were found dead at the scene from apparent self-inflicted gunshots.
