The Bangor Firefighters honor guard has has a busy year. The unit, that was formed this year, has worked details from posting colors at a firefighters conference, 2 funerals, posting colors at a memorial service and the memorial Day parade in Bangor.

Other events that we participated in include the opening ceremonies at the Senior League World Series to be held in Bangor, and presenting the colors for Firefighter's Day later in the week. One of these details was our second combined color guard, to present the colors for the National Anthem, with the 101st Air Refueling Wing's Color Guard. Our units have worked together closely weekly to bring our team up to the Air Force standards for color guards. Leaders from both units, agree that our group has come a long way to where we are now, and we want to show the citizens that we can make them proud.
