Default Another brother lost
We lost a member from our sister chapter this last night/early morning to what I'm sure will end up being a drunk driver. He was a firefighter for Orange County Fire, FL, Harley Davidson enthusiast, and member of Fire and Iron Chapter 1.

If anyone in the Orlando area is free tomorrow, we are having an immediate charity run tomorrow to help generate funds for his funeral and family. Contact me for info if interested.

This is the kind of post we hope to never have to see or write.
It breaks my heart for family and friends who are left behind. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them all.
