For those wondering why the name is misspelled, it's because the fire department made it that way. You can see it's the same jacket from the Buffalo fire departments memorial pictures. It might of be an error on their part and Corey didn't care or them simply leaving out a letter to make his name fit properly.

They can only have 10 letters on the jacket so the shortened it.

He couldn't go to the funeral because the secret service deemed it unsafe.

A. Moment of Silence is ALL Donald Trump will ever give to this family. GOP should be paying for man's funeral expenses and college funds for victims children..

BUFFALO TOWNSHIP, Pa. Is where Corey work at this fire station not to get confused with Buffalo N.Y Firestation

[TobieWoodel]

The feel of this entire week was wonderful. Unity for the all people. Not division

[wyfreak]

What about the injured as well You should pray for them too.

[nigeljohnson]

Oozing self serving insincerity from a man who once called american war heroes losers.

[Sci-FiSaga]

Then trump should change the very short 3 years of presidential office.

[FantiaMobo]

And haters still say Trump didn't talk about the firefighter.

[deeanna]

Maybe honor his memory by not cashing in on merch affiliated with an event where a man died and another person was injured, or by not prattling om about how god saved you from a bullet that killed a man behind you.

Lawsuits notwithstanding A billionaire's charity always brings me to tears.

GENT..SSIMI.
So che il vostro caso di SHOOTING, è più IMPORTANTE del mio, però sto facendo luce, anche su questo, anche perché, voglio ancora vivere, ma il mio viene sottovalutato, perché io sono una semplice persona, non conto niente in mezzo tanti GRANDI.., pero io li sto subendo da 5 anni, perché nessuno mi ha ascoltato, non mi ha creduto. Adesso mi ritrovo con mille problematiche di salute, che nessuno può prendere in considerazione subito. So che tante cose qui non si possono dire, ma ho chiesto da anni di essere ascoltata, perché era importante, ma invece mi è stata procurata una ferita, che non si rimarginera' mai, ma che importa se volevo spiegare tutto quello che stava e sta succedendo, ma nessuno mi ha ascoltato, d'altronde, sono solo un piccolo punto nel *MONDO*. Che ha sempre amato le cose giuste e pulite della vita!...SAPETE, a volte un*appello *URGENTE*viene considerato una tarantella, ma io sono troppo io, non chiederei mai, niente se non fosse a scopo PREVENTIVO!.

1000...GRAZIE!

[GoddessFourWinds]

What? They didn't show him walk over there and KISS THE HELMET?? So creepy!! Jezus.

[GaryTrudel-cw]

[katrinawright]

The spelling of the deceased man's name is wrong.

[anthonycampbell]
