A Michiana man was killed in the line of duty more than twenty years ago, but he hasn't been forgotten.
Butch Nine was a police officer who was shot while trying to arrest a suspect in Nappanee 24 years ago.
Friends and family have gathered in his honor every year since then.
Those who worked alongside Butch say he was a dependable officer.
"He's not forgotten. Everybody looks at their job a whole lot differently when something like that happens in your town. But the town embraced us very well after that had happened for a long time," Bill Bickel, who worked with Nine.
Current and retired officers from the Nappanee Police Department were at the memorial to show their support.
