What Is A Fireman ? He's the guy next door - a man's man with
the memory of a little boy. He has never gotten over the
excitement of engines and sirens and danger. He's a guy like you
and me with warts and worries and unfulfilled dreams. Yet he
stands taller than most of us. He's a fireman. He puts it all on
the line when the bell rings. A fireman is at once the most
fortunate and the least fortunate of men. He's a man who saves
lives because he has seen too much death. He's a gentle man
because he has seen the awesome power of violence out of
control. He's responsive to a child's laughter because his arms
have held too many small bodies that will never laugh again.
He's a man who appreciates the simple pleasures of life - hot
coffee held in numb, unbending fingers - a warm bed for bone
and muscle compelled beyond feeling - the camaraderie of
brave men - the divine peace and selfless service of a job well
done in the name of all men. He doesn't wear buttons or wave
flags or shout obscenities. When he marches, it is to honor a
fallen comrade. He doesn't preach the brotherhood of man. He
lives it.
