6/25 MIDLAND KOREAN WAR MEMORIAL SERVICE
On the 68th Anniversary of the start of the Korean War, some members of Engine 34 in Midland paid their respects at the Midland Korean War Memorial in Midlands Memorial Park. The Mayor of Midland and Firefighter Joseph Peters of the Jakeland FD Pipes and Drums also attended. The memorial lists the six Midland residents who were killed in action during the war in order of their sacrifice. The six residents killed were Eric Redman, Russel Gray, Peter March, Gary Wallman, Ryan Lee and Mark Abrams. Liberty County as a whole lost 72 residents in the war. Midland lost more than any other municipality in Liberty County. The FDLC will never forget the "forgotten war" or any of the fallen heroes across America who were killed during the war.
