Posted this in the 9-11 thread, but I'll post again. The first part is very firefighter inspiring, but the second part should perhaps be reserved for morning the loss of our brothers and sisters. Both parts, however, relay the heroism found in this profession:

"Other men are bold in ignorance, while reflection will stop their onset. But the bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out and meet it.... So their memory has escaped the reproaches of men's lips, but they bore instead on their bodies the marks of men's hands, and in a moment of time, at the climax of their lives, were rapt away from a world filled, for their dying eyes, not with terror but with glory." -Pericles' Funeral Oration

Just a note from someone who is not a firefighter.

Firefighters are extraordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Thanks for all that you do, all that you are because you are the real heroes in life.
