    Caught you on the list at "Polish Power" group.
    Just wondering, I see you are a member of the FDSOA. I have seen their website and talked to them at Firehouse Fire Expo. Is the group worth joining? I have been promoted to Safety Officer and am looking for certification...eventually.

    Good evening Ed, Hey wanted to say great job on the Fallen Firefighter event, my son and I had a great dinner and the golf tournament was a blast. Mr. Graham was an outragious speaker. Can't wait for next year.

    Hi Ed,

    I would be honored to be of support. I will contact you by private message to provide address and phone. I have also developed a Emergency and Disaster Responders Support Network. It is available to every firefighter, law enforcement and secondary responder. There are many chaplains and disaster mental health responders already there. http://disasterresponders.ning.com
