divthe MD DE DC Moose Association had its annual Honors Banquet durning their Annual Convention. In 2001 the Moose Association started to honor one police officer and one firefighter for Valor each year. Lt Ryan Emmons was the recipient of this years 2013 Firefighter Valor Award for his amazing recovery after his accident with the fire engine on the morning of January 30th 2013. Just over 6 months and he has some movement of his fingers and arm. Ryan still has a long road and doing a lot of therapy daily but has full intentions of a full recovery and being back on fire trucks doing the job he loves. Ryan was made an honorary member of the Moose Lodge and they also took us all in with stories and jokes like they have know us forever.
