And Finally.......
Before my recent trip to Washington DC i was challanged by a facebook group "Flag Runners" who are close friends with the Familes and Firefighters in Bray to find a Special Fire Hydrant in Arlington National Cemetery
Not one to turn down a Challange i set out on Friday 16th Oct to find this Fire Hydrant in Section 23 on the 624 acre site
It was a pleasure to find the Hydrant and Place 2 x 2Euro Coins (1 each for Brian & Mark) and tape a Fire Ireland Patch there also
There is a plan in place to try get this Hydrant named in Honor of Brian and Mark
Continue to RIP Sub Officer Brian Murray and Firefighter Mark O'Shaugnessy
