Jerry Cohen, the owner of Major Goolsby’s, issued the following statement in a news release:
"We want to unequivocally show that Major Goolsby’s stands behind the Police and Fire Departments of Milwaukee. We appreciate their hard work and dedication, and this is a small way that we can show our thanks."
