OT: Colorado Springs pictures up

I finally had a chance to upload the pictures from our trip. Most of the pictures are from the practice for the Firefighter Memorial but some are from the actual ceremony. It just didn't seem fitting to take too many pictures during the actual ceremony. We are in the process of trying to get copies of the professional pictures the IAFF had taken, don't know if it will happen or not. You can tell the difference in the dress for which are practice and which are the actual ceremony.

Thank you for sharing those Kenda. I truly thank all of the firefighters who risk their lives every day to help those in need. I hope you do get some of the professional pics for your union scrapbook. Hopefully they'll be willing to share them!

Those were some nice pictures Kenda! It must have been an amazing experience to be a part of it . The memorial statues were awesome.

Wow! I am sure that you are going to enjoy scraping some of those, they are wonderful and a memory that will live in your heart forever. Even without the professional pictures, you certainly have the makings of a memorial album.

Kenda: I just had a thought that would be a very touching/theraputic/thoughtful project fo you if you would like... there is a website, go to

then click under choose a branch. They have All the military branches as well as Police and Firefighter. THey have some AWESOME albums with the branch emblem embedded in the front of the album, they also have kits with everything to go with that branch. It is UNBELIEVABLE. So, my thought is if you have the extra $40 or so then check them out and if you have any pictures of Firefighter Bevins you could do a book for him and either give it to his family, OR see if his firehouse would like to have it in his memory... what do you think about that. Just thought you might like the idea. It seems that you were so close to him. Ang.

Thanks Linda. It was a very amazing experience, very touching. There were several other statues that I was unable to get clear pictures of that were just as awesome.

What an awsome site!! Thanks for sending it along. They have some things I haven't see before. I will be doing a Memorial book, we have access to the scrapbook that has the FF embelm on it. The Union will retain possession of the scrapbook. In the time that I've been on the job we've lost 2 Firefighters on the job. I talked with the Union president and he thought making an album dedicated to those we've lost was a good idea. Captain Bevans son wouldn't appricieat the album, and entire job was his family so it would be better to keep it with the Union so everyone could look at it. (we are a small department with 150 members)

Again thanks for the site!
