BUTLER, Pa. 鈥� The memory of former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore, who was killed during an assassination attempt at a Donald Trump campaign rally in July, was honored at the former president鈥檚 second rally in Butler.
The rally, held on Oct. 5, featured memorials, artwork, and prayers, with the crowd repeatedly chanting Comperatore鈥檚 name, reported.
At the beginning of the rally, Trump asked for a moment of silence to honor Comperatore. Classical singer Christopher Macchio performed 鈥淎ve Maria鈥� as a bell tolled simultaneously with the start of gunfire on July 13. Among those in attendance were several of Comperatore鈥檚 family members, including his widow, Helen, who stood alongside Lara Trump during the former president鈥檚 remarks.
At the rally, Comperatore鈥檚 Buffalo Township coat and helmet were prominently displayed in the top left corner of the stands, surrounded by roses and gladioluses as a tribute to his service and sacrifice.
Artist Scott LoBaido took the stage to unveil a painting of Comperatore, prompting the crowd to chant 鈥淐orey, Corey, Corey鈥� in unison.
The chants of the fallen firefighter鈥檚 name resonated throughout the rally, a moving reminder of his impact on the community.
