God bless the Firefighters!
I have been to too many police officer funerals some of who were friends, one of whom was a very close friend. I was a pallbearer at his funeral and the night he was shot and killed he had planned to meet me after work for a drink. He never made it.
I am numb. I don't care to ever go to another Police Officer's funeral. About a month ago a co-worker/friend of mine was killed here hit by a semi on the side of the highway. I feel terrible, but I just could not go to his funeral and hear those bagpipes and taps another time.
At all Police Officer funerals the Firefighters show up in droves to honor the Cops. They always bring thier ladder trucks and hang a flag on them as depicted in the photo above. Thanks to them for that and to all for thier service.
I am retiring soon after 22 years on the job. The job has taken years off my life. I am completly fried. Time to move on to happier pastures.
