Send a card or letter to say thank you. Maybe send a few bucks to a firefighter charity or non-profit in the name of E 65. Write a letter to a local newspaper sharing your story. Lots of ways to say thanks. You already did once by writing this posting. Thanks for sharing your story.
I agree with "mack". And I'm sure those firefighters appreciate what you already said. I know that this web site owner is a member of FDNYs Engine 65 and the word will get back to them.
Firefighters across the country save lives everyday as just part of their normal routine. But it is a special day for them when they recieve a thanks from somebody like yourself in remembering them.
Recently a retired firefighter friend of mine who lives in Fort Myers, Fla went into cardic arrest. He had basically died and those Fort Myers Firefighters brought him back to life. He spent two days in an induced coma in the hospital and stayed there for about a week. A few weeks later he went to visit those firefighters at the firehouse that had actually saved his life. He wanted to personnelly thank them for what they did.
He is a good friend of mine, a purple heart Viet Nam Veteren, and a Great firefighter that I enjoyed working with. He comes up to visit me every year. So not only is he thankful for the work these firefighters did, but so am I.
