Hogan for Maryland today celebrated the life of Fire Fighter Greg Leonard at “Greg’s Ride” with IAFF Local 1563 Motorcycle Group and Anne Arundel County first responders.
“I was honored to have the opportunity to spend the afternoon with Anne Arundel County firefighters, police officers and retired first responders to honor the life of Greg Leonard and his family. Greg’s legacy of bringing people together speaks to the man he was and how much firefighters like Greg mean to our communities,” Governor Hogan said. “Our firefighters are true heroes who put their lives on the line and run toward the danger. I’m proud to stand with them—today and every day.”
