9/11 is still taking it's toll. May Lt John Gremse Rest in Peace.
This is the one thread on here that I don't like to see increase the number of pages. I don't know any of these firefighters. But I have a pretty good idea of what they did. I read everyone of these names and I think about that. If there is anybody in my life, excluding my own father, these are the guys that I have the highest amount of respect for. Most of them played a part as a role model for me and they never even knew it.
I can never claim to be what they were. There's just no comparison. There were some lucky enough to work with them. But I just watched what they did. I tried to follow their every moves whether it was at a fire, a car accident or even training at the ROCK. They have given so much to me.
Now they join their Creator. Hopefully when my day comes, I will join them.
Chief "68jk09", thank you for continuing this memory of these brave firefighters.
I would like to add. My thoughts are the same as I read the names of those War Years Firefighters in the thread "Another War Years Vet Passes". They were the BEST.
