Paul Rister, for Calloway County Judge Executive

Today, I had the privilege of being part of a large gathering to welcoming the Kentucky Brotherhood Ride as they stopped in Murray to honor our fallen first responders Jody Cash, Timmy Manning, and Sean Kelly.

The Kentucky Brotherhood Ride is much more than a bicycle ride. It is a powerful reminder that the sacrifices made by our first responders, and the families they leave behind, will never be forgotten. Their mission is to provide support, encouragement, and remembrance for the families of Kentucky’s fallen heroes.

Thank you to Calloway County Sheriff Office, Murray Police Department, Murray City Fire Department and Calloway County Fire and Rescue who participated in today’s ceremony, and a special thank you to Sirloin Stockade for providing lunch as the riders prepared for the next leg of their journey.

Please keep these families, and all of our first responders, in your thoughts and prayers.
