Please take a minute to read Chief Goldfeder's article on the home page.

As Christmas approaches, it's hard for any firefighter to celebrate the season without also remembering the Worcester Six, the Keokuk Three and now, most recently Baytown, Texas Firefighter Nito Guajardo. He was killed in a single family dwelling fire last Monday, December 20. He will be buried Christmas Eve.

Paul A. Brotherton, Jeremiah M. Lucey, Timothy P. Jackson, Joseph T. McGuirk and fire lieutenants Thomas E. Spencer and James F. Lyons III were killed on December 3, 1999.

In Keokuk, Assistant Fire Chief Dave McNally, 48, Firefighter Jason Bitting, 29, and Firefighter Nate Tuck, 39 were killed while attempting the rescue of three trapped kids-who also perished

In 1998, on December 18, 3 FDNY firefighters from Ladder 170 in Canarsie, Brooklyn, Lt. Joseph Cavalieri, FF Chris Bopp and FF Jimmy Bohan died on the 10th floor of a "fireproof" multiple dwelling on Vandalia Ave



On September 11, 2001, 343 of the FDNY's finest gave their lives so other's might live.

All gave some, some gave all. Remember them all this holiday season. May they all rest in eternal peace and the angels watch over their families and keep them safe.

Have safe Holiday Season everyone.

Please take a minute to remember the men and women who are serving our country in Iraq who will be spending Christmas far from home protecting our freedoms and rights. Please take a minute to remember the men and women who have given their lives in Iraq so others might live. May those who have been lost rest in eternal peace.

They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.

Kia Kaha, Kia Kaha Brothers.
