Will had advised us to get there by 10:00 if we wanted to find parking, and that was a good call. There were literally miles of firetrucks and cars from all over the state and beyond. All uniformed firefighters walked in together and created a "sea of blue' in the packed church.
All the way north on 281, every bridge crossing the highway was filled with firetrucks, ambulances, and flags. A few people stood beside the road saluting the men standing beside their trucks.
The ceremony didn't start until afternoon, so we were there almost all day, then we picked up Elena and met Nathan, Will and Veronica for a birthday dinner at Fujiya Gardens, their favorite place to eat.
