    Hi, I'm Steven Jones, Executive Director of the First Response Coalition (FRC - www.FirstResponseCoalition.org.

    We're currently working to make September 25th "National First Responder Appreciation Day" and I hope you will support this worthwhile cause.

    Join the 6,000 other people who have signed our online petition at www.fixtheradios.org/campaign/nfrad_petition.

    After you’ve signed the petition, send a letter to Congress urging them to give our first responders the national day of appreciation they deserve - http://www.fixtheradios.org/campaign/nfrad_petition3

    Thanks!

    Fallen Jakes


    Numerous messages to God since Wednesday...
    Bless our brothers, the fallen Jakes
    It seems there’s never rhyme nor reason
    For whom He decides to take

    Again we’re forced to struggle with the fact
    That He’s taken two of our bravest
    If we could, we brothers, march to heaven
    From Him their souls we’d outwrest

    But such is the fate of the dedicated Jake
    Much, much too often
    Though they died doing the job they loved
    This blow cannot be softened

    It crushes their families, kills their dreams
    Of happy times together
    They must go on, remembering their souls
    Will live with them forever

    We fellow firefighters in the “brotherhood”
    Have lost two of our own
    Like countless of our brothers before them
    It still cuts to the bone

    And lest we forget their brothers in arms
    Who fought by their side
    Some of whom still lay in hospital beds
    Lucky to have not died

    Our hearts may go out to all of the above
    For they all suffer today
    They’ll pick up the pieces the best they can
    Each in their own way

    But our prayers are for the eternal souls
    Of two true Boston heroes
    Who did their jobs until the very end
    Earning them their haloes
