Monday, September 8, 2008 - Chiefs!
It has come to our attention that our members attending the parade have been wrongfully grouped with a few rowdies at the parade. This is a complete untruth and in no way has any Chief shown any disrespect to the parade participants. We are all of duty Firefighters and Police Officers and would never go anywhere to disrespect our host.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'll be brief...
The issue here is not that we broke a few rules or took a few liberties with our female party guest at the parade. We did.. But you can't hold a entire group of firefighters for the behavior of a few bad apples. For if you do shouldn't we blame the entire firefighting community? An if the entire firefighting community is guilty, then is this not a indictment against Firefighters in general? Well they can say what they must about us, but we are not going to sit here and let them bad mouth the United States of America! We could fight this thing with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost thousands of lives. All fun at the parade is over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? And it ain't over now. This could be the greatest parade of our lives. Have fun and enjoy The Wildwoods! See you at the parade!
