      Beautiful weather accompanied the stirring sounds of the bagpipes at the 2010 annual Fallen Firefighters' Memorial held in Baton Rouge on March 6.  Massed bands marched in to "Scotland the Brave" and "Murdo's Wedding".  Families from the eight firefighters who gave their lives in the line of duty in 2009 were comforted at this state-wide service by "Going Home" while the Fallen Firefighter flag was replaced and by "Amazing Grace" (solos by Stan Masinter and Larry Bossier).  Approximately twenty pipers and drummers participated.  The Baton Rouge Pipes & Drums (led by Pipe Major Bob Cargo & Drum Majors Dave Goldsmith and Greg McLean) would like to thank the Baton Rouge Caledonian Pipes & Drums as well as Robert Grubb and Earl Valois from New Orleans for joining them in this important endeavor.
