Honoring ARMY Specialist Ronald H. Wildrick JR.

Today, personnel from several of our Fire Station's had the somber privilege to honor one of our countries fallen warriors.


ARMY Specialist Ronald H. Wildrick JR. of Woodsboro, Maryland, who died on December 11, 2011 in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, in service to our great country.  Our personnel learned that his funeral procession would be passing through Montgomery County, via 270, as he made his way to his final resting place.  Several stations along the route positioned apparatus and personnel on overpasses to honor the fallen hero.


Below, you can see photos showing units from Fire Station #34 and #35 who positioned two aerial tower/ladder trucks flying the American Flag.


An honor and privilege for all involved!

  1. To all the folks at MCFRS. I was part of the procession today for Ronnie who lived just down the street from me. I was so proud to see all of you manning the bridges as we passed through the county. I can not tell you what that meant to me and I am sure the family.

    Thank you
