Remembrance Tree Lighting

The Schuylerville American Legion Auxiliary Unit 278 hosted their annual Remembrance Tree lighting ceremony on December 1, 2007 at the American Legion Hall on Clancy St.  Schuyler Hose sponsors a tree in honor of our deceased members.  The tree was decorated to recall the contributions of all deceased firefighters who served Schuyler Hose Company since its reorganization in 1953. Each of the thirty seven firefighters, including Brian Myers Sr. who died in the line of duty, had their name written on a wooden red fire truck and hung on the tree. The tree was lighted with 150 red lights representing the lights on top of the fire trucks they rode on the way to put out fires for their community. The white star on the top of the tree indicated the purity of their efforts to serve the community they lived in.

Once again a special thanks to FF Frank Merrill and his wife Bonnie for their efforts in not only making the ornaments but also decorating the tree.
