Sharon Remembers, and pays tribute..


Sharon Fire Department's Tower One set up out front of the Sharon Congregational Church today at A Service of Remembrance--The 10th Anniversary.














The view from inside through the almost 200 year old windows...showing the old and the new....


Dr. Ifeoma M. Okoronkwo was a guest speaker at today's service. She was at work in New York that day, and shared vivid memories...




Former Chief Tom Casey spoke about numbers, and how certain numbers will never, ever be forgotten...
9-1-1 is #1




















Music was preformed by Michael Brown, of  St. Bernard's, and by Lost, Now Found, a group formed within the Sharon Methodist and Congregational churches.




Following the moving service, many, many of the folks who attended all took a moment to shake a hand and give a hug of thanks to those members of the fire company who were able to attend the service.


This service was put together by the Sharon Ecumenical Clergy Association. Special thanks to them for organizing and putting this tremendous event together and for their leadership on this event.


May I also take this time to give thanks to Chief Carberry, his officers and all the active members of The Sharon Volunteer Fire Department and The Sharon Volunteer Ambulance Squad. Your dedication to your townspeople is exemplary.
