Remembering our fallen firefighters

Retired fire chief Jeffrey Allen tells his grandfather's story during an Alaskan Fallen Firefighter Memorial Ceremony next to Fire Station 1 in Anchorage Sept. 11, 2015. “I was able to confirm that my grandfather [Army Capt. Francis Allen] and the other free firefighters had been immortalized on the wall here,” Allen said. “I sat there with tears streaming down my cheeks. I could not believe what I was seeing – that after all this time, his sacrifice had been recognized. So I'm here to say thank you to my fellow firefighters who have kept the promise, after 70 years, we never forget our fallen brothers and sisters.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Robert Barnett)
