Every year, Buffalo families gather to remember two local heroes—Firefighter Jonathan Croom and Lieutenant Charles “Chip” McCarthy—who lost their lives protecting our community. Sixteen years later, their sacrifice still shapes how we see the risks our firefighters face daily. The annual butterfly release and memorial mass aren’t just about grief—they’re about keeping their legacy alive and reminding us all of the courage it takes to run toward danger. How do you think we can better support and protect those who protect us? #Relationships #Buffalo #Firefighters
