RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – “I’m doing this walk for my husband. He battled four and a half years with cancer.”
Martha Creasy held the photograph of her late husband, retired Richmond Fire Marshall David Creasy, as she stood in front of the statue of George Washington on Capitol Square.
“He lost his battle in October,” she said. “He took his last breath and we were holding hands.”
About 200 firefighters and their loved ones gathered behind Martha Creasy as they made their way to the Commonwealth Public Safety Memorial. They walked two miles, over the Manchester Bridge from Richmond Fire Station 13.
