This has been a very sad time for many families as we approach this Christmas Day (2014). For many, they feel the loss of their "loved ones" who have dedicated their lives to saving others. Sad for many families, friends and members of the FDNY, as well as members of the NYPD.
Since December 21st, just three days, we have lost Four FDNY Members who served during the very busy War Years.
1 Captain
2 LTs.
1 Firefighter
In addition, the world watches as the families, friends, and members of the NYPD prepare to lay two New York City Police Officers to rest after they were gunned down as they sat in their patrol car.
A Police Officer from Florida is also a LODD and his family and friends, as well as members of the police department, will bear the sadness this holiday season.
The Fire Service also learns of the LODD of a Volunteer Firefighter from Long Island.
During this Holiday Season we need to remember every one of these individuals and the families and friends of these Hero's. They have served us well. Thank You and may they Rest in Peace.
