Honoring years of service, thanking chief Larry Bragg

GLASGOW, Ky. – Honoring individuals who make a difference in the community out of the kindness of their hearts is a meaningful gesture that leaves a lasting impact.

Austin Tracey Elementary School recently took the time to recognize retired fire chief Larry Bragg for his decades of service to the community.

Students wrote letters to Bragg, and the school celebrated with a proclamation declaring the day as Chief Larry Bragg Day. Barren County judge-executive Jamie Bewley Byrd spoke about the significance of these small acts of kindness that create a big impact.

“It’s not always about the money, but about how you can make a difference in people’s lives,” Byrd said, expressing gratitude for Bragg’s dedication.

Bragg’s contributions to the Tracy community were deeply appreciated, and the day served as a reminder of his legacy. Moving forward, Chief Larry Bragg Day will be a day to encourage others to live with the same spirit of service and compassion that he embodied. It is a tribute to a man who exemplified the true meaning of community commitment.
