Thread Name: Song for NYC Firefighters...
Subject: RE: Song for NYC Firefighters...
Sorry Larry, I posted the tunes you already had mentioned as a cheap shot at Spaw. You may not spell very well, but you can sure communicate, and that's what matters.

McGraw, I agree completely. Firefighters risk death to save lives. They don't ever have to kill, and their risks are probably more sure and more frequent than soldiers' risks. I think of all the times someone's told me they were a firefighter, and I've said something inane like "oh, that's nice." I don't think I'll ever look at them the same again. I think maybe next time, I'll just say "thank you."

I haven't heard many names. I hadn't heard the story of Tim Stackpole. I never would have, if it hadn't been for your song and Spaw's reply. Thanks.
