Today is the first anniversary of the death of Capt. Tony Grider, who died at 11:53amCT, at University of Louisville Hospital in Louisville, KY. (Anthony Lynn (Tony) Grider, Adair Co., KY (1973-2014).

His remains were returned to Columbia in Supporting Heroes van, escorted by long procession (The Procession Carryiing Capt. Tony Grider home) including primarily units from Campbellsville and Columbia Fire Departments, with many other first responders joining in.

Along I-65 firemen and others paid respect, sometimes with dramatic gestures, sometimes in small. By the time the escort reached Campbellsville huge crowds had gathered along the way. When Ladder One passed in review for a final victory lap around the public square, there wasn't a dry eye along the way.
