Yesterday, we joined with family, friends, fellow firefighters, and veterans in honoring the life and service of Carl Ford.

Carl dedicated many years to protecting our community as a firefighter and Assistant Chief (Ret.) with the Versailles Fire Department, and served our county for many years as a veteran of the Armed Forces. This was his final journey to Camp Nelson National Cemetery.

May we always remember those who gave so much, both at home and abroad, to keep others safe.

Rest easy Carl. Your service and legacy will never be forgotten.
