Rush Limbaugh, the conservative radio personality and his wife Marta
donated $200,000 to the Post Astoria fund for the FDNY 3 who died in the line of duty at a hardware store fire/building collapse a few weeks ago.
Quoted from the Firehouse.com news story....
"They do things most of us will not do and they sometimes die doing it," he said. "They are unique people, greatly undercompensated relative to what they do.
"I am overawed by that, as I am by people who volunteer for the armed services."
We as firefighters might not always agree with Rush's political views, but this shows that what we do transcends politics. Every day, our Brothers and Sisters, career and volunteer firefighters alike answer the call, not knowing if it will be the final alarm.
I hope that other celebrities (pro sports, media, actors, etc) follow Rush and Marta's lead.
Thank you, Rush and Marta for helping the families of our fallen brothers.
