Community Honors Legacy on 23rd Anniversary of Tragedy
Staff Report / GTXlocal.org
On a cool and crisp Tuesday morning in Georgetown, Texas, the temperature was about 68 degrees, with high pressure in the area. Residents were going about their daily routines, including heading to work and grabbing coffee. At 8:46 AM EST and again at 9:03 AM EST, significant events changed lives in the community.
On this day, members of the Georgetown Fire Department (GFD), Georgetown Police Department (GPD), local Boy Scouts, police academies, and civilians gathered to honor and pay tribute to their legacy. This year marks the 23rd anniversary of those events, and the community remembers and vows to never forget.
The Home Depot sponsored breakfast for attendees following the event, and their support is appreciated each year.
