“I include for the Record information for the memorial for all of our fallen heroes and our tributes today for our three heroes from New York. The Memorial, Memorial Park, Colorado Springs, CO "somewhere--everyday" "Somewhere-Everyday", is the copyrighted title given to the 17 foot, "Heroic" bronze Memorial statute by Artist and Sculptor Mr. Gary Coulter since it is with this frequency that somewhere every day Fire Fighters are engaged in acts of heroism and saving lives. All too often Fire Fighters give the ultimate sacrifice . . . their lives, in the line of duty. Mr. Coulter has captured the last step of a successful rescue while clutching a child safely within sheltering arms. The rubble of fire forms the base of this magnificent tribute of dedication and heroism. Mr. Coulter designed, with purpose, unequal beams of the 17 foot tall ladder. In the "art" world, "unequal, parallel, lines define infinity". As Gary stated, Fire Fighters acts of heroism does just that . . . it will always be that way! "Somewhere-Everyday" weighs 2,600 pounds, it's base extends 40 feet into the ground to bed rock. Somewhere- Everyday, was delivered to the Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial Committee in 1987 after nine months of work and a cost of $60,000. This remarkable sculpture was dedicated October 15th, 1988. Behind the Memorial sculpture is the Wall-Of-Honor containing names of Fire Fighters that have died in the line of duty since 1976.”
