First responders from Pennsylvania participate in Trump inauguration parade
Pennsylvania first responders took part in the indoor parade in Washington, D.C., to kick off President Donald Trump’s inauguration celebration on Monday.
Local and state law enforcement officers and paramedics made their way through the Capital One Arena. They were the ones who responded on July 13 when a potential assassin attacked a Trump rally. Tragically, one man lost his life and another was injured in the incident.
Corey Comperatore, a brave volunteer fire chief from Buffalo Twp., Pennsylvania, tragically lost his life while shielding his family from the hail of bullets. Amidst the chaos, President Trump was abruptly escorted off the stage during his speech, with blood trickling down the side of his face from a graze on his ear. A powerful and iconic image captures the moment when he rises to his feet, blood streaming, fist defiantly raised, and utters the rallying cry, “Fight!” This unforgettable photograph has served as a source of inspiration for his dedicated supporters.
Throughout his campaign, Trump has consistently shown his appreciation for Comperatore. In fact, he even showcased his turn-out gear on stage at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
During the parade, a solemn moment of silence was observed to pay tribute to him. His turnout gear was prominently displayed in the procession.
The Inaugural Planning Committee issued a statement expressing their deep sorrow over Comperatore’s death, stating that it has had a profound impact on the community.
“We encourage every American to take a moment today to reflect on the courage and selflessness displayed by their own first responders and police officers, the invaluable expertise of their 911 dispatchers, and the unwavering dedication of their local hospital emergency and medical staff, as well as emergency management agencies,” expressed the group.
“It is a great privilege for us to be present here, representing all these individuals, and we are deeply proud to join hands with our fellow life-savers from across the nation as we march together in today’s Inaugural Parade.”
