Thursday, 28 August 2025, at 9:00 a.m. – The Lyme Fire Department proudly announced that Firefighter Thomas Moore officially became a soldier after graduating at Fort Benning, Georgia, and earning his Infantry Blue Cord.
Moore was joined by family, friends, and fellow firefighters for the milestone event. In a special moment during the ceremony, his mother had the honor of placing the Infantry Blue Cord on his shoulder.
