I am a retired volunteer firefighter of 30 years. I volunteered to go out to New York for the search and cleanup. But we got about 75% way there and they had us turn around because they didn’t need anymore volunteers. I then started to take special training classes. I am federal certified haz-mat trained firefighter.
I was VFD for about a year. Then our county made all fire departments "first responders", sending us out on all calls, fire related or not. I did not care for all the fender benders at 3 AM. No problem running into a burning structure. But all the unnecessary calls were enough for me to call it quits.
@@HoboWithWood I started all my adventures as a police scout at 12 years old. I learned how to properly handle and use a firearm. I was able to do ride alongs with the police and helped out at parades, concerts and festivals. Then I got into firefighting at 16 and then I became a EMT at 18. I went on as many calls as I could. My girlfriend at the time didn’t like it very much. Some of those calls still haunt me today.
Steve, this is beautiful 😢. I will never forget that day. My Dad fought in the Korean war and my husband lost an uncle in Vietnam (he was only 21, a Mstr Srgt in the Army). Have 3 other family members who served in the Navy and Marines not to mention firefighters and law enforcement. As you can imagine, patriotism runs in my blood. Thank you for sharing. I am going to share this.
Beautiful tribute. Is that you singing? Thanks for sharing. My prayer is that more people would appreciate America and the red, white and blue and what it stands for. Thanks again for sharing.
Excellent Job Steve
👍 it is important that no body forgets any of the brave who have and are now serving.
Pat on your back! I honestly appreciate your support! I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and thank you for your salute!
Thank you for your service.

Thanks. I had a shipmate perish in the Pentagon that day. This is a beautiful song.
Thanks, sorry for your loss. I had family in the Pentagon, but they were not physically harmed.
Thanks Steve, this is beautiful!!
Glad you like it!
