Firefighters in Iraq

[CHIEFPHIL 90]

As I read about another firefighter killed in Iraq, it brings tears to my eyes. My department [bethel , HQ co.] has 3 men in Iraq, one has been wounded. We sent care packages to the men this past month and when one of the service groups found out that we had 3 men in uniform , they sent packages.

One man calls the FD every Sat. and Sun morning. I miss them and pray everyday for their safe return.

One man is in the 1st cavalry, one in the 1st infantry and the other with the 24th meu.

Just wondering, soes your department have men/women in uniform in Irag or Afgahnastan ? If so, has your dept or co. done anything for them ?
