These twelve first responders stepped up with bravery and honor in West to help save lives, losing their own in the process. Yesterday, their sacrifice was honored by the nearly 10,000 people who attended a memorial service at the Ferrell Center in Waco.

Below, you’ll see video of high-profile speakers at that memorial. While their words are touching and poignant, we must always remember that actions speak far louder than words.

The actions of these fallen men spoke volumes about courage, honor and sacrifice.
