Fields now bear Suhr's name
The athletic fields at James Madison High School were officially renamed over the weekend in memory of Danny Suhr.
A large crowd was on hand Saturday for the ceremony honoring the former student and captain of the football team who died on 9/11.
"It's certainly nice to have things like this, where it's recognized that what he did, he didn't do for nothing -- he did for a community, he did for our borough, he did for our city, he did it to help others. That was the kind of guy he was," his brother, James Suhr, said.
Golden Knights showed up early and excited!
