A very nice gesture on your part.
These people gave their lives looking for trapped employees inside a burning building.
No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. (John 15:13)
So what does this say when they laid down their own lives for complete strangers?
The families, friends, and loved ones of the 9 brave men are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless them all.
Obob, you are more than welcome any time to express your opinion over at my corner, as you always do so with tact and respect.
Beautiful post Obob..thanks.
A very simple yet profoundly fitting memorial to nine individuals who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Very well done Obob. I'm sure the family members of these brave souls will appreciate the kindness you have demonstrated here.
Too often we take our firefighters for granted. We shouldn't!
Nice post, Bob.
thanks seemed an odd thing to say. I really wanted to thank everyone for remembering and recognize these brave men. Somedays we forget how easy we have it when you look at the big picture
