Hi to all my fellow Brothers and sisters out there from sunny South Africa. The time has again arrived where we must pay tribute to our fallen brothers and sisters that gave their lives in 9/11.
We as Firefighter sometimes neglect to acknowledge our own heroic duties that we carry out on a daily basis. I know that at times it feel like it goes unnoticed, but rest assured my brothers and sisters God has a special place for all of us reserved in heaven. We have a duty to every now and then, pat ourselves on the back and realize how privileged we are to have been chosen by God to carry out this important job. To all my Fellow Brothers and Sister please embrace this calling and feel special about yourselves, because believe it or not you were chosen to do this long before you were born.
Be save out there
