Gerald, who died in July 2021 during an ambush that also wounded three other officers, served three tours in Iraq and gave his life protecting his community. Foundation CEO Frank Siller praised Gerald’s courage and sacrifice, calling the home a lasting symbol of gratitude for his service both abroad and at home — offering his family stability, comfort, and enduring recognition for their loss.
