To all my friends in Firefighter nation. I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving....As we all sit down for dinner lets have a moment of silence for all those that have answered their last alarm. Also remember our troops that are not here right now and that can't be home. We also must remember those that are not coming home. God Bless America.
