REAGAN IN 1980.
THE LATEST POLL AS CLINTON AND
TRUMP IN A DEAD HEAT.
A CROWD GATHERED AT THE
STATE CAPITAL TODAY TO HONOR
FIREFIGHTERS KILLED IN THE LINE
OF DUTY.
32 FIREFIGHTERS WERE RECOGNIZED
AT THE MINNESOTA FALLEN
FIREFIGHTER MEMORIAL SERVICE
THIS AFTERNOON.
DAVID PORTER SHOWS US HOW THE
SERVICE HELPED BRING CLOSURE TO
THE FAMILIES OF FALLEN

WE'VE LOST MANY HEROES OVER
THE YEARS.
.
THERE IS A PRIDE TO HAVE
THOSE SACRIFICES ACKNOWLEDGED.
OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS SINCE
THE MEMORIAL, THEY HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFYING ALL THE OUTSTANDING
FAMILIES AND ADDING EACH OF
THEIR NAMES TO THE WALL.
ALTHOUGH WE PRAY FOR THE DAY
WE STOP INSCRIBING NAMES AND OF
THESE COLUMNS, WE REJOICE AND
WE CAN BRING CLOSURE TO
FAMILIES WHO IMPATIENTLY WAITED
FOR THEIR LOVED ONES TO BE
RECOGNIZED. MY FATHER WAS IN
MINNEAPOLIS FIREFIGHTER.
HE WENT TO WORK ON NEW YORK --
NEW YEAR'S IN 1982 AND DID NOT
COME HOME.
WE ARE THRILLED THAT HE IS
BEING RECOGNIZED TODAY.
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
FAMILIES TO COME TOGETHER.
AND REMEMBER WHAT THESE BRAVE
FIGHTERS HAVE DONE FOR THE
COMMUNITY. NO WORDS CAN TAKE
AWAY THE PAIN.
THERE IS ONLY THE GRATITUDE OF
EVERY PERSON WHO'S LET BETTER
KNOWING THAT IF TROUBLE CAME TO
THE HOUSE, HELP WOULD BE
ARRIVING. LOVE THE COMMUNITY
ENOUGH TO RISK YOUR LIVES FOR
THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.
ERR THAT LOSS IS STILL RAW.
IT NEVER GOES AWAY.
IT SERVES AS A SOLEMN
REMINDER THAT THE DUTY WE HAVE
BEEN CALLED TO CAN AND
SOMETIMES COME WITH A HIGH
