C of C to honor fallen firefighters
The College of Charleston said Friday that it will honor the nine firefighters who died in the Sofa Superstore blaze on June 18 by hanging a banner or a flag at each of the College's six sports venues.
C of C will also have a memorial at Kresse Arena that will include a plaque with the names and pictures of the fallen firefighters as well as a "Charleston 9" banner.
"Placing banners or memorials at the venues at which our intercollegiate teams compete, is our expression of remembrance of those brave and courageous heroes," interim athletic director Fred Daniels said. "Never again will any of us take for granted the courage of all those who protect us each and every day."
C of C's sports venues include Patriots Point (tennis, baseball, soccer, softball), Kresse Arena (volleyball, basketball), J. Stewart Walker Sailing Center at Patriots Point (sailing), Stern Student Center (swimming and diving), Storybrook Farms located at Bees Ferry Road (equestrian) and Stono Ferry Golf practice facility (golf).
