New Carlisle, Ohio, is a town known for its patriotism. Every year, the community hosts the Heritage of Flight Festival, a 3-day community gathering that celebrates the area's flight history. This year's event, which also marked the celebration's 11th year, featured a ceremony called The Blessing of the Badges. Dozens of local first responders showed up to have their badges prayed over by a local chaplain. Firefighters, first responders and emergency medical service workers lined up in hopes of receiving divine protection on the job.
The blessings took about 40 minutes and were slightly formal.
However, when the event was over, the first responders took to the streets to cut loose and perform a fun dance routine. The popular song "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" blared through the square while 20 of the 75 first responders in attendance performed a dance number to accompany it.
The Dayton Daily News reported that the Clark County Sheriff's deputies and Bethel Fire Department members were some of the first members to start the routine.
Spectators smiled and filmed the uniformed men and women shaking their groove things. Check out the video of the first responders' dance here.
