Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, which recognizes the date that all remaining slaves in Texas were freed in 1865. Fort Worth resident Opal Lee was instrumental in pushing to recognize this day as a federal holiday when she walked 1400 miles from Fort Worth to D.C. at the age of 89
Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers at the fire station and those at home. Being a dad is a job that you're never "off-duty" but we hope you get a little R&R today!
