Trooper Kyle Young was the father of two and he was only twenty-eight years old when he passed away this last week. Gathered at the Eagles Club Memorial on Sunday, September 27th, representatives and equipment from at least ten different Fire Departments, Emergency Rescues and the State Police gathered to pay respects and to honor their fallen friend. While many spoke of Young's devotion to family and the law, others reflected on his tour tours of duty oversees in the military and how much his loss impacted the Law Enforcement Community. Speaking to a crowd that included Young's girl friend, children and over a hundred people, there was a sense of reflection, remembrance and the reality that any one who serves others can at any point be asked to sacrifice their own life. Protecting and serving the community is a daunting task, but one that all gathered there to honor Trooper Young take as their responsibility and charge. With the American flag flying overhead, there was a call for the lights of all of the service vehicles to be turned on in honor of Trooper Kyle Young. As the lone bagpiper played Amazing Grace, all present went to salute. In an often broken world, a presence of people who honor, serve, and protect came together to remember and pay tribute to one of their own.
