Today, the Fairmount Fire Department joins our community in honoring and remembering the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the courage, dedication, and selflessness of those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy each day. We remember not only their service, but the families, friends, and fellow service members who carry their memory forward.

As we gather with family and friends this holiday, we encourage everyone to take a moment to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day and honor those who never made it home.

From all of us at the Fairmount Fire Department, we thank and remember our fallen heroes.
