(Radio Iowa) – The names of two Iowa policemen have been added to the Iowa Peace Officer Memorial on the state capitol grounds. Iowa Public Safety Commissioner Stephen Bayenshosted a ceremony at the site this (Friday) morning.

The families of Algona Police Officer Kevin Cram and Des Moines Police Phoukham Tran seated near the granite markers that now bear the names of their loved ones. Cram was shot to death last September as he was serving an arrest warrant on a suspect who’s been charged with Cram’s murder.

Governor Reynolds says service came first for Officer Cram.

Tran, the Des Moines Policeman, died in November after a decade long struggle to recover from being struck by a drunk driver as he directed traffic outside the Iowa State Fair. Today’s (Friday’s) Peace Officer Memorial ceremony included a 21-gun salute, taps and a rendition of Amazing Grace by the Mackenzie Highlanders Pipes and Drums, an all volunteer group that supports law enforcement, military units and fire houses in central Iowa.
