Rubbing from IAFF Memorial wall
David Allan engraving, IAFF Memorial
2014
FMC Collection, Grant Rinas-9
Every year, in early September, the International Association of Fire Fighters memorial is held in Colorado Springs. Fire services from across North America attend, paying tribute to their fallen colleagues and providing a lasting symbol of respect to their families. This is a special event for the CFD Honour Guard, and they attend every year. Some have a personal connection with the names engraved on the wall, and bring back a memento of their visit to pass on to relatives. Grant Rinas took this rubbing as a gift to the sister of David Allan, the CFD’s 7th Line of Duty Death.
