Re: Fireman's Funeral
If you have never been to a military, law enforcement, or fireman's funeral it is something to behold.

Re: Fireman's Funeral
Wolfie is right. It is always sad when Police,Fire,EMS or military lose one of our own. But by God we do take care of our own as well giving them a good and proper send off. The cool thing in our area is that there is a state wide benevolent group which nearly all of the Police and fire\EMS departments belong to . I can't speak for all areas of the U.S. but I know in our area when a officer or firefighter falls this group steps in to action as soon as they are notified of the death . They pay for the said officer\firtefighters funeral and provide consuling and other needed help to the family of the fallen officer or firefighter. Unfortunetly I have had to see these people do there work several times over my carrer. Having said that I sure was and am glad they were there and continue to be there for the men and women of law enforcement and fire EMS.  |
