Doug, if there was no disrespect intended, you would have kept quiet. Just saying.
Thanks to the Leroy FD for a job well done. My dad, uncle, and grandfather were all professional firefighters, and I know how tough their job was. These guys go above and beyond, and receive no compensation.
I normally see things on a similar plane as you,Doug,but this time, you took a jab at honest to God American heroes. There was a recent article as to an award these folks received because of the great amount of training classes they take. I have no qualms as to their ability. And I thank goodness for their service.

Nobody bats 1000, I guess. I never said they didn't deserve recognition and I wasn't taking jabs at anyone, Bud. My apologies for ruffling anyone's feathers.
