Read Reporter Rachel Kubik’s article in The Journal Times about the Great Lakes CCC and Racine County Fire Department honoring first responders who sacrificed their lives during the 9/11 tragedy.
“Every year on September 11th, the Great Lakes CCC members stand alongside the men and women of the Racine and Milwaukee Fire Departments. We read aloud the names of first responders who lost their lives on that infamous day so that we may breathe eternal life into their deeds and sacrifices. The length of the list of names captures the depth of our sorrow for the loss of lives, and helps us to remember that our firefighters do not know what fate awaits them daily…yet they choose to serve to protect and keep us safe regardless.”
