A Fallen Hero

Today, we paid our respects to fallen firefighter Cory Iverson.  He died battling the Thomas Fire, one of the many that have scorched southern California in recent weeks.
He left behind a young wife, 2 year old daughter and a baby on the way.  So tragic!
His procession was 210 miles, beginning in Ventura and ending in San Diego.  We brought our flag and waited along with many others along the Rainbow bridge.  There were dozens of firemen and families saluting and honoring the family as they drove under the bridge on the 15 freeway.  From numerous accounts, I believe every overpass along the route was represented the same way.
Quite a tribute!

Thank you for your service Cory Iverson!
