I hope to share with you, during the brief time we have together, some examples
of people around you, people not so very different from you and I, who by their
words and actions are meeting their solemn obligation to be giants within the
American fire service and are preparing the next generation of firefighters to do
the same. They are your friends, your colleagues, your co-workers. They have a
message and a lesson for all of us. What we do is different. What we do is special.
What we do truly matters. Each and every one of us has the ability to stand a little
taller and see a little further.
