This morning we paused to commemorate Memorial Day at the Fire Training Center.
Gregg County Chief Deputy Craig Harrington reflected on the importance of the day. The ceremony included military honors from the American Legion East Texas Honor Guard, a presentation of the colors from the Longview Fire Department Honor Guard, "Taps" from the Longview Police Department Honor Guard, and much more.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
