Forty four years ago on Friday, October 13, 1967. My family on my dads side suffered a major loss.
My grandfather, Raymond "Bud" Moulder died.
He was a volunteer firefighter. He was called to fight a fire in the town of Noblesville. He was supposed to be off duty that night, however, he went. Later that night he saved a fellow firefighter as the wall collapsed saving the other firefighter but sacrificing his own life. He was only 28.
Four or five years ago the town of Fishers held a remembrance on the anniversary of his death. The town council also Declared that this Day in the town Would be set aside to remember a town hero,my grandpa. Along with that a truck was also dedicated in his name. Being the only Moulder present that day four or five years ago they gave me the official town decree.
WHEREAS, Raymond "Bud" Moulder Served as the Fishers Assistant Fire Chief in 1967; and,
WHEREAS, on Friday October 13, 1967, During a massive firefighting effort in a neighboring community, he preformed his last act of heroism, saving the life of a fellow firefighter; and,
WHEREAS, the act of heroism and self sacrifice claimed the life of 28-year-old Raymond "Bud" Moulder, leaving a wife and five small children; and,
WHEREAS, 40 years later we again remember his heroism and sacrifice; and,
WHEREAS, on Saturday, October 13, 2007, the community gathers at Highland Cemetery for a Remembrance Ceremony to honor Raymond "Bud" Moulder:
Thank you who real this all the way through. I know for most everyone he has no real significance to, but to me and my family he makes us all proud to have a hero in the family that won't soon be forgotten. My aunts, uncles, dad and grandmother still get really quiet when talking about this day 44 years later.
My only regret on this day is that i wasn't able to be there. when they held this ceremony, I want to go there soon to at least pay my respects. again thank you for reading this depressing post. *sobs*
