About Me:: I am Happily Married to a STRONG and Beautiful Lady who I have put through HELL and can only hope that some day I can return the Strength to her that she has Displayed putting up with all of the Stress I have put her through. The two loves of my life, my son and daughter, without them I would be totally lost. They are the best in the world and I believe someday they will have the Love of South Minden like their old man. The daughter already loves the Dept at 5yrs and the son at 2yrs hopefully will start enjoying it soon. My HERO, Pop, Sherman D. Rockwell, Best Man Ever!!!!!!!!

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: Well like most kids, I grew up wanting to be a Firefighter. Probably for the same reasons, Big red trucks, flashing lights and sirens. The main difference that separates me from the rest however is because of my HERO. My Grandfather, Sherman D. Rockwell, started my Fire Dept in 1964 and was the original Chief of the Dept and held the position for a total of about 32 yrs. Growing up with Pop as the Chief has made me a better person and has definitely trained my heart to attempt to follow in this Great mans footsteps. Now I doubt I will ever get to the years as Chief like Pop has, but I think the past 6 isn't too bad! Im sure that I am not the only person who has had that special someone influence them in the Fire Service and for those that have you understand Im sure.

At 12:07pm on March 5, 2009, Evgenie Frolov from Russia said…: Hello =))) I with pleasure would send to you, something. But I can not now. We in Russia have a big problem. It is financial crisis. As soon as I will grow rich a little, I will necessarily send gifts to all my friends in different states and the countries. Many ask to send to them patches. I will try to make it in the future. But I do not know when at me it will turn out.
Excuse me for bad English.
