County
commissioners are considering a proposal to create a memorial for fallen
firefighters and law enforcement officers.
The board agreed last week to
start looking at possible locations for a memorial.
The topic was raised during a
conversation about the Brotherhood Riders, a group of firefighters, law
enforcement officers and EMS medical personnel who biked across Florida this
month to honor emergency first responders who have died in the line of duty.
Commissioners said that while the
group biked through Franklin County they added two local officers to their
list, John Patton and Fred Babbs.
Apalachicola resident Ashley Teat
said it would be nice to recognize those local people who have put their safety
on the line for others – he recommended possibly putting the memorial at the
newly acquired Els Court property east of Carrabelle.
Commissioners said they would
begin looking at the proposal more closely.
