(LaPorte, IN) - Medical and emergency responders will be honored Friday in La Porte.

Bethany Lutheran Church will ring its bell at 10:08 a.m.

Other churches are invited to join in.

Motorists are also asked to honk their horns.

Pastor Dennis Meyer says it’s been done in France to support medical and

emergency responders during the COVID-19 outbreak in that country and felt it would great

to do it here.

Meyer says the time was chosen because 10-08 in emergency responder code

means “in service.”
