“WE SHALL NOT FORGET”
WEDNESDAY May 13th, 2015, 1000 am
ANNUAL LA COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS MEMORIAL SERVICE
LAO HEADQUARTERS AT OUR MEMORIAL SITE
LOCAL 1014 BBQ TO FOLLOW
Sisters and Brothers,
This is a reminder to take time Wednesday the 13th and “Never Forget” our very own Los Angeles County Firefighter Brothers and Sisters who gave all and are forever remembered on our beautiful granite Memorial Wall at LAO.
Break out your Class A or department long sleeve uniform and make time to get to LAO to create a sea of blue along with the LAO uniformed and non-uniformed personnel to support the family members who will be in attendance to remember.
We have seen many tragedies and triumphs in our Department and our Unions history, and we have traveled far and wide throughout the Country to Honor FDNY’s fallen, Boston, Chicago, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Canada, Kansas, Arizona and more. We have formed up and marched and paid our respects with pride as if the fallen Brothers and Sisters were our very own.
Well, Wednesday the 13th is our very own; our Brothers and Sisters from engines, trucks, air squads, PM squads and hospital beds who have given. While all have given some, some have given all. Those are the folks on OUR Memorial Wall.
Please join Union President Dave Gillotte and Fire Chief Daryl Osby representing Labor and Management along with members of our great Department to shore up and let the families of our own fallen know that “We shall never forget”. Local 1014 will be hosting an after ceremony BBQ for camaraderie and fellowship and all are invited.
- This year the names of James F. Horton, Janet L. Chatelain, John D. Mazzocco and Darrell Rice will be added to the wall.
- The Los County Firefighters Pipes and Drums will be performing.
- A new addition this year will be the Men of Fire Motorcycle Club in their first Los Angeles County Memorial Ride. Click here for details.
Thank you advance for your attendance and helping to do the right thing….take a day to remember,
Dave Gillotte and the Local 1014 Executive Board
