Aggie Fireman and Police Officer Page
Many Aggies come from families of Police Officers and Fire Fighters, many of whom chose the same careers.
Some of our Aggies didn't follow their fathers, but chose these honorable careers just the same.
WE SALUTE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!
Your sacrifices and duties rarely make it to the media, but:
We know the honor of serving in such a capacity and we want to thank you.
This page is dedicated to all of you, with special remembrance to
Steve Olander (Class of 1980), a firefighter, who lost his life saving others.
May God Bless and Protect You All.
