Letter "D" » Death
«Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished.

Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires.»

To be or not to be. Every time you don?t throw yourself down the stairs, that?s a choice. Every time you don?t crash your car, you reenlist.»
«He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend - provided, of course, that he really is dead.»
