The names of Chesapeake firefighters John R. Hudgins Jr. and Frank

E. Young were unveiled Thursday after their addition to a black

granite memorial for those who have given their life in service to

others. Hudgins' parents, John Robert Hudgins Sr. and Barbara Rawls,

were among about 150 firefighters, city officials and others at the

Chesapeake Fire Department for the ceremony. Hudgins and Young, who

died March 18 in an Advance Auto Parts store fire, also received the

department's highest tribute - the medal of honor. by CNB
