Fallen Heroes Named
Honorary Grand Marshals
Local area police officers and firefighters that have died in the line of duty have been named the Honorary Grand Marshals for the 31st Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. A combined marching unit consisting police officers and firefighters will lead the parade to honor their fallen comrades. Given the long history of the Irish serving as both police and firefighters it is especially appropriate to honor these heroes.
