Florida State Rep. Paul Renner invited the Palm Coast Fire Department Honor Guard to present the nation's colors on the House floor on the first day of the 2024 Legislative Session on Jan. 9.
This was the third time the PCFD were invitation to participate in a State ceremony: they were also invited to the House Designee Ceremony in September 2021 and the 91st Organizational Session in November 2022 by Renner. The invitation to participate was a "significant honor for the members of the Palm Coast Honor Guard participating in the ceremony," a Palm Coast press release said.
The Palm Coast Fire Department Honor Guard was established in 2001 to represent the members of its department, their families, and the citizens that they protect and serve during formal occasions, the press release said.
"Our Fire Department stands as a beacon of excellence among public servants," Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin said. He thanked Renner for extending the invitation.
PCFD Fire Chief Kyle Berryhill said he was proud and thankful for the Honor Guard's dedication.
“Honor Guard service is selfless; They perform their duties and expect nothing in return,” he said. "Being the ambassadors of our City at the State Capitol is a significant milestone for our Honor Guard."
