Friday, September 11,
2020: It was 911 Patriot Day. The Brainerd Fire Department hung a huge flag from their newest ladder truck. This day also honors the firemen and women who died on the 911 attack in 2001 that killed 2996 Americans. |
 |
|
The
All Veterans Memorial is a calm place to remember all of those who
died for our country at home and abroad. Civilian and military alike, they all serve or have served our country. |
 |
|
Flags were everywhere to be seen that day. |
 |
|
Paula and her friends of the Daughters of the American
Revolution rang bells on
Constisuation Week in front of the Crow Wing County Courthouse. |
 |
|
Then the
Brainerd
Dispatch Newspaper ran a story about 29 firefighters from seven fire
departments in Minnesota being called up for fire fighting duty in
Oregon. |
 |
|
One of those interviewed on television was good friend Dave Cox.
He was a a part of the Brainerd group headed to Oregon as a "strike
team" to fight fires. Their job will be to save homes and
communities while freeing up Oregon firefighters to battle wildfires. |
 |
|
Fires in Oregon are especially intense this year. |
 |
| They headed west with smoke in the air. We wish them well. |
Quote of the day:
 Stay
safe, Dave. Mark
