On this day we all sit in sorrow. Crying for New York's firefighters, that will not see tomorrow. New York's Bravest, took on a new meaning today. As In the Line of Duty changed to In Harms Way. New York's Bravest became New York's toughest. Suppressing the fear within, you gave your all. Your arms reached out in vain to save those in distress. You will be forever missed my friends, memories of you shall never end. In a flash of an instant, you became Angels. Flying over the dust and debris guiding those lost at the scene. As a result of this selfish violence. We shall forever remember you this day, with a moment of silence. BY:R PENNOCK

 I Am A Firefighter
When the alarm rings, I shall respond to your call. Night and day, I will be there for you. Through the flames I shall fight the fear within me. To comfort yours. I shall always be there for you. Through the heat and the smoke, I will reach out and pull you through. I am a firefighter, this is what I do. When you cry, we cry together When you are hurt, I suffer with you. When you are scared, I am there for you.. I am always by your side. I am a firefighter, this is what I do. You are never alone. I am always a phone call away. If you are ever lost My eyes shall become yours. Bringing you to a safe place. I am a firefighter, this is what do. By: Rick Pennock
