Tribute to Our Fallen Heroes: Honor, Integrity, Service

Tribute to Our Fallen Heroes: Honor, Integrity, Service is a mural in memory of fallen officers Walter Barclay, Robert Hayes and Charles Cassidy. The mural was designed and painted by David McShane, with painting assistance from the families and friends of the honorees.

The mural is a companion to Tribute to Our Fallen Heroes: Courage, Sacrifice, Loyalty, painted in 2009. That mural is in memory of fallen officers Lieutenant Walter Szwajkowski and Police Officers Louis Vasger, Richard Lendell, and John Pawlowski, all from the 35th District.

Both murals are on the Broad Street façade of the Philadelphia Police District 35 building, flanking the main entrance. Artist McShane thinks of them as essentially as one mural.

The families and friends of the officers provided feedback on the murals’ designs and were invited to attend a community paint day at the mural, where they helped paint the mural on the wall itself, and also helped fill in the paint-by number portraits of the officers on cloth, which were later glued up onto the wall mural.
