A Sad Day Today

I write this today to ask of all of you to say your prayers and send your thoughts out to the families of our brave firemen we have just lost in Boston. This year is on track to be the worst year in many for our firemen nationwide. This seems to be an odd year. It is unfortunate to me that people are unaware of our losses in the fire department on a regular basis. We lose one every three days and it is never reported. Only the bigger political things seem to take precedence in our media. It is all spun for those looking to debate or get votes. So please, take a moment and remember those that risk so much for us everyday and are rarely recognized. God bless their families, sons and daughters. God Speed brothers and see you at the gates!!
