Jerry W. Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Very sad news as I start my first day of retirement from the San Antonio Fire Department. Prayers out to the Firefighters that lost their lives, their families, friends and the community that they served. This department lost 20% of their force. Truly a sad day.

Bentiron1946 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 They're on my prayer list ever since I went out for the paper this morning and saw the headline, "TRAGEDY", I never did get to eat breakfast, it is a tragedy for the families of those men. I've been praying off and on all day. The West is burning for sure this year. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Hale Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 There will be a memorial ceremony near Prescott AZ tomorrow morning,,Tuesday. In the past some blacksmiths have had a custom of ringing the anvil three times in honor of a passed smith. Tomorrow I will ring my anvil, 19 groups of three taps. In honor of these young men that were killed in the line of duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 It was a sad sight to see the 19 go by at Carefree Highway and I-17 today on their way to Prescott. Many folks lined the side of the road with US flags and banners in their honor. We just happened to be on our way home from church so we were the second car back on the off ramp for east bound Carefree Highway. My wife and I prayed for the families of those 19 young men and for the one survivor, rough days ahead for them all. May they all feel the peace of God.
