* * 2000-2004 Archives ( Upon Request ) * *
* November 9, 2007, Santee, CA: Thank you, gentlemen, for helping me get into my car! I locked my keys in my car last week (a rare situation, but 'it happens) and lo' and behold, there was Santee Fire Station #4 directly behind the photo lab. I know how some firefighters dread the "assist a citizen" calls, but as a brother, I had to ask them first. Either that or call a wrecker or locksmith. Seeing the impressive Truck 4, 100' ladder pull in was a overwhelming site for such an assignment (and a small parking lot). I know it wasn't easy, but I greatly appreciate the helping hands. I'll be sure to drop to say hello, and I have the perfect 11x14 to give you all. Thanks again!
* December 26, 2006, Houston, TX: Well-overdue and very personal, but to Community Volunteer Fire Department....thank you for saving my life....once again. Ya'll know what I mean. Special thanks to Paramedic Guerrero (no relation, but a brother of the badge for life). The last thing I heard was "I got you", and after that I woke up 20 hours later in ICU.....
* September 9-10, 2006, Houston, TX: Once again, I want to thank Memorial Hermann Life Flight for another awesome experience. It's been an honor and a privilege to have witnessed first hand the intense and wonderful service you all do for the community. With gratitude and respect:
* August 5, 2006, Kansas City, MO: Strange how some things happen. One wrong turn on the way to a wedding drove me right smack into this statue, which happens to be the Firefighter's Fountain, honoring the fallen firefighters of Kansas City. Of course, I had to stop and check it out and pay my respects. Beautiful memorial.
* July 20, 2006, Pacific Beach, CA: What's the first thought that goes through your head when you look out your window and see a team of HazMat's walking down the sidewalk? Grab your camera, of course. No, really, I went to investigate and find out if was a false alarm at a school. No neighborhood evacuation necessary. Well, at least we posed for a picture. Thanks for the privilege, gentlemen. (Can you tell I'm itching for action?)
* February 13, 2006, Houston, TX: Thank you Memorial Hermann Life Flight for the privilege and honor of riding with you. I am greatly honored to have met and worked with all of you and appreciate the tremendous amount of hospitality you have shared with me. It's been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Thanks again!
* May 2005. Upon working (Yes, working) in Puerto Rico, ...
I visited the "funkiest" Firehouse in the world, Parque De Bombas. It's now a museum.
This neighborhood in Ponce, Puerto Rico, according to a native, burned down a long time ago. To honor all the firefighters who saved many lives the residents painted all the new homes red. Is that cool or what?
* Summer 2005, Houston, TX: Congratulations CAPTAIN Tortorice, CVFD. Joe, you're a good friend.
. . Joe Cool
* February 4-6, 2005, New Orleans, LA: Mardi Gras N'awlins ...You boys got it made !
* January 2005, Pattison VFD, TX: Congratulations Chief Cooper ! Chief ?! Wow ! I'm happy for you Curtis ! See you soon. I may hafta take a few rides with ya ! We go way back, my friend.
* September 11. 2004, San Diego, CA: SDFD Mitch Mendler, it was a great honor to finally meet you. Great ceremony. I look forward to working with you in the near future.
* June 19, 2004, Chicago, IL: Thanks for the hospitality, Chicago FD, especially, Engine 86, Truck 57, and Ambulance 20.
