Tradition sumed up by Don

Tradition


"Tradition is very important.

It is the life blood of what makes a great company and a great department.

We stand on the shoulders and graves of the firefighters that went before us.

The minute we think that we are better and we don't need tradition,

that is the beginning of the end of what was once a great company and a great

department."

Don Van Holt, FDNY, Retired.

Mamaluke, great post. I hope that Nate Marshall reads this, although I doubt that his ego would allow him to agree with you. Kodos mal. Short and sweet.
