Grand Marshall
2018 Morgan Hill Freedom Fest Parade Grand Marshall
Police, Fire Fighters, and First Responders
This year the Morgan Hill Freedom Fest July 4th Parade has invited our local fi rst responders to be Grand Marshals.
We thank them and all fi rst responders across this great country for their dedication and service in taking care of those
in moments of crisis. It’s hard to imagine what would happen if they weren’t around, and fortunately, we don’t have to.
From Klamath National Forest on the Oregon boarder to San Diego, nearly 9,000 fi res erupted during 2017. The fi res destroyed more than 10,800
structures and burned more than 1.2 million acres across California. And when the fi res quit we were deluged by rain causing fl ooding. California
wasn’t alone with the fi res and fl ooding - it was happening all over the country.
That’s the bad news, the good news is First Responders! These individuals have had specialized training and are among the fi rst to arrive at an
emergency, whether it’s fi re, fl oods, traffi c accident or other disaster and often at peril to themselves, you know they’ll be there to take care of you.
They include police offi cers, fi refi ghters, paramedics and other emergency trained persons.
To all fi rst responders you have our utmost respect and appreciation for all you do to keep us safe.
THANK YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
