I have seen a lot of sniping on these forums. I'm seeing it still. I offer this thought:
On 9-11-01, three men took it upon themselves to climb atop the rubble and lower a flag to half-staff. At the same time a man with a camera snapped a picture. At that moment, America's firefighters became the flag bearers of this nation.
Conduct yourselves in a way that lives up to this honor. Reach out to all, regardless of faith.
We carry a flag which represents freedom of, religion , want, fear and speech. If we as firefighters GIVE UP those freedoms or take them from our citizens, we may as well wave the white flag of surrender.
Fate has given us a heavy load here. Let's carry it with pride and honor.
