A petition is circulating through my department asking members not to grant interviews to a certain writer, who will remain nameless, who is trying to put together a book about fire operations on 9/11/01. It seems, no gesture of donation of proceeds has been announced in relation to this book.
A very highly respected Deputy Chief of mine is doing the same in an attempt to document as much of the event as possible. He wants to devote a chapter to every company who lost a member or members. At the same time he has pledged 100% of the proceeds to our fallen brother's families.
Perhaps this aspiring author will read this and realize, we will only help those who help our widows. You have gained much from your time in the fire service, don't try to make a dime on our time.
Should this topic be locked down and deleted, I fully understand.
