As our graphic says, "We don't know them all, but we owe them all." Today, on Veterans Day, the Eddy County Fire & Rescue family extends our deepest gratitude to all who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

We hold a special respect for the veterans who now continue their commitment to service right here in our community. To the incredible veterans on our ECFR team—both career and volunteer—who once wore the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard: Thank you.

Your leadership, discipline, and courage learned in the military are now the foundational pillars of our department. You continue to serve our community with great honor and distinction.
