We pause to salute all Veterans of our Armed Forces, both past and president

The volunteer and career fire services have historically been populated by many who had previously served in the military. They proudly returned from national service and transitioned to domestic service, bringing many skills and leadership traits with them. If you look back at the ranks in the years when many suburban and rural US volunteer fire companies came into existence (30s & 40s), you would see that a great many were Veterans. And many were great leaders.

Thank you all!
