Company Mottos

I've seen lots of Companies, Squads, and such that have sayings on their apparatus. Like FDNY has "Midtown Madness" for Ladder Co. 24/Engine Co. 1, or "Never Missed A Performance" on Engine 54 and "Pride of Midtown" on Ladder 4. What is your company/squad motto or what do you have written on your apparatus?

Dennis, are you kidding?? No such thing as a "late post"!! I started this post in January and it is still going strong. I've had a few good laughs too. I look forward to each one that folks post here.
