My thoughts will be with everyone who lost a loved one this week…39 years ago, especially this week. I will visit the Memorial in Lake Park this week to honor those lost and the first responders who served.

God Bless the Flight Crew and Passengers of Flight 191 and the two people on the ground.

God Bless all the emergency personnel who were there to help on that day and the weeks that followed.

Hard to believe 39 years ago I and many of my Fire Department Brothers were walking the crash site picking up remains and bringing them to the American Airlines hanger set up as a temporary morgue.

The years may pass, but the memories are locked in our brains and our hearts.
