It was an honor when we were asked to participate in services for Lance Corp. Tyler Griffin, a marine that was killed in Iraq serving his country. RIP Tyler. Our Dept was asked to hang a flag from our ladder truck along with Taftville Fire Dept. on the day Tyler was brought home to Voluntown, also on the day of the funeral. We also along with many other Depts., were at the funeral of Lance Corp Griffin. Many condolences to the family and friends and thank you for letting us be part of the services. We are all proud of him
