A firefighter from here was recently killed in a plane crash (he worked a second job as a transplant specialist; plane carrying the medical team and donor lungs crashed which is a whole other tragic story); the photos of firefighters saluting outside the station with the empty boots and hat make me cry every time I see them.
I knew a lot of volunteer firefighters back in Vermont - it takes a lot of guts to run into something that everyone else is running out of. Heroes indeed. :cry: :patriot:
