RIP Brother you made the ultimate sacrifice and for that I thank you. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

[NJMedic 96]

To fallen soldiers let us sing
where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
to the mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
just divine embrace, eternal light
in the mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard tho the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.

-- Abraham Lincoln, November 1864

The firefighter stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass

He hoped his shoes were shining, Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you firefighter, How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?"

The firefighter squared his shoulders and said," No, Lord, I guess I ain't

Because those of us who fight fire, Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was tough,

And sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough

But, I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep...

Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep,

And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear,

And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here

They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand,

I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand.

"There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod

As the firefighter waited quietly, For the judgment of his God,

"Step forward now you firefighter, You've borne your burdens well,

Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell."
