Friday I burried a friend, fellow brother, hero

[Saxjazzman]

He and many like him, firefighters included are taken for granted much to often. While my brothers in arms defend my freedom and way of life on foreign soil. These men and women fight to preserve the same in my home front. All to often being taken for granted. It is with pride and much gratitude the I say, May he rest in peace.

Hang in their brother, those whom are kept in our memories and talked about with love are never truely gone.

In Iraq when we lost a buddy us redlegs would gather around his gun piece and pass some 'gars around a smoke one for him in the dark. We would tell stories about him so that he would live inside of us. As long as we live they live. Smoke one for him, 'nuf said.

Charlotte, NC laid to rest one fine officer today and will lay to rest another tommorrow. Officer Sean Clark was buried today and Officer Jeff Shelton will be buried Friday. I had the privledge of meeting both of these fine men. Both were shot in the line of duty last Saturday night. Police think they were set up in an ambush in retaliation to the arrest of several gang members the week before. I would like to thank every police officer, firefighter and emergency personel on this board and whoever may be reading for what you do.

I second that. Thanks to all of you who deal with the dregs of the earth to keep the rest of us safe and sound. I know what is to be in a job where sometimes a simple thank you can be overlooked. You are all rock stars in my book. Well, except that one donut eating cop that gave me that speeding ticket, he I thank a little less then the others. :laugh:
