On Friday April 28th, 2006 Captain Richard Toledo Jr., Captain Richard Toledo Sr. (Ret) and the crew at Station 8 “A” shift flew a ceremonial flag over the Station from 08:00-17:00hrs. Upon lowering the flag it was immediately shipped to Norfolk, Virginia for a retirement ceremony on May 12, 2006 honoring Russ Bourbon.
Russ Bourbon received a ceremonial U.S. flag from the Department of the Navy for his dedication and over 26 years of service to our country. During the passing of the flag he presented his father Daniel Bourbon the ceremonial flag flown over Station 8 in honor of his father’s 33 years of service to the San Jose Fire Department. B/C Daniel Bourbon and CA. Richard Toledo Sr. spent most of their careers at Station 8. They retired almost 10 years ago from the San Jose Fire Department.
Congratulations to the Bourbon’s, Toledo’s and the crews at Station 8 for proudly serving our country and community.
