New York Port Authority Police Chief Anthony Whitaker speaks about his experiences on Sept. 11, 2001, as Fort Worth Fire Chief Rudy Jackson, Burleson Fire Chief Gary Wisdom, and Burleson Fire Marshal Stacy Singleton look on. |
Burleson Fire Chief Gary Wisdom and Fire Marshal Stacy Singleton represented the City of Burleson at the opening ceremony for the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum’s Sept. 11 Tribute Exhibition in Fort Worth.
The two joined Fort Worth Police Chief Ralph Mendoza, Fort Worth Fire Chief Rudy Jackson, New York Port Authority Police Chief Anthony Whitaker, and Mike Hurley, manager of the World Trade Center site. Members of the Fort Worth police and fire departments comprised the honor guard.
The exhibition stopped in Fort Worth, at Hulen Mall, on Saturday and Sunday to garner support for the fundraising efforts for the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum that will honor the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, as well as Feb. 26, 1993, due to terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.
Wisdom, Singleton, dignitaries, and those who walked through the exhibit Saturday and Sunday signed two beams that will be used at the site of the memorial and museum in New York City.
Two career Burleson firefighters earned their badges July 23, 2007
In the first ever badge ceremony by the Burleson Fire Department, firefighters Matt Moseley and Jake Hopps were pinned. The badge ceremony confirms that the new firefighter is about to become part of a very special family and that it’s a privilege and an honor to wear the badge. The badge is earned, not given.
|
| Firefighter Moseley’s wife, Amanda, and Hopps’ father, Frank Hopps, a 26-year veteran/retiree of the Cleburne Fire Department, did the honors in the ceremony at Fire Station #1. Firefighter Bobby Clarkin was also slated to be pinned, but he was on military leave. He will take part in a badge ceremony in December. |
