Who are the heros?
A Battalion Chief from FDNY named John Moran once said after the Father's Day LODD in FDNY that in the course of his or her career a firefighter only makes 1 act of courage and heroism, that is the day that they take their oath and pledge to serve and protect others, after that everything else is just doing the job. Chief Moran lost his life a few months later in the World Trade Center attacks that took the lives of 343 heros. The word hero is thrown around alot these days, maybe the guys that die in the line of duty are heros, maybe someone can go above and beyond, but I believe each and every one of us are heros and do our job to the best of our abilities without concern for heroism. Celebrate yourself and your crew, you are heros and deserve a pat on the back. Just remeber that there are other heros out there that are waiting to take your place one day, so pat them on the back and help them through the door and show them the traditions and things that make us special.
