Honoring Tradition Through Music
Founded in September 2003 by Andy Winckler and John Adair, the Firefighters Highland Guard of Naperville was created to honor and remember those lost in the September 11th terrorist attacks. Today, the FHGN continues its mission of honoring first responders and veterans through the powerful and timeless music of bagpipes and drums.
