This Memorial Day weekend, the Milwaukee Junior Fire Institute honors the men and women who died while serving our country.
The courage we teach our young firefighters to run toward danger, to protect others, and to serve without hesitation is a reflection of the sacrifice made by our fallen heroes.
We are honored to carry that spirit forward.
