About Me
"We were soldiers once and young" - General Hal Moore *************************************************************** Started out in Law Enforcement and switched to firefighting on a large midwestern fire department. Retired Firefighter/Apparatus Engineer/Acting Lieutenant. Former Haz-Mat Team member, Director of Fire/EMS Communications Center, Medic, Technical Rescue. Children in fire investigator. Public information officer. I spent 12 years in the USAF - ANG and retired as deputy fire chief and a Master Sgt. I also spent 11 years in the U.S. Army as a UH1-H Crew Chief/Medic (Air Cav/Air Mobile) Sgt. By the way I'm no hero just a survior. The only heros I know didn't get to go home. I also do a lot of traveling and photography. I've even managed to sell a few pictures. Gun collecting and shooting. Also being a history buff I build historical correct models. I've been doing this for a while and found it to be a great stress release after working. I love to travel especially to historical sites. Especially civil war battlefields. You can find me on the road with my two dogs and my motorhome. I go to live theater, Broadway shows, concerts, museums, art galleries, and most musical productions from classical to piano, to rock. I enjoy going on ghost walks in historical areas. I teach part time at an area college and occasionally still take a class or two. I have a AA in Fire Science, a BS in Fire Science, and a MA in Public Administration. I am a member of the Lions Club and past president of our local club. I'm involved with the Special Olympics, various fund raisers, and veterans issues. MY HEROS ARE THE OFFICERS OF THE NYPD WHO SAVED MY ASS IN 1971 WHILE ON LEAVE AS A YOUNG SOLDIER ON BROADWAY BEING HELD UP BY AN ARMED LOW LIFE. THANKS GUYS. ******************************************************************************************* A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for the amount - "up to and including my life." **************************************************************************************** From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother – William Shakespeare ******************************************************************************************* All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing – Edmund Burke ********************************************************************************** Let us make a vow to our dead. Let us show them by our actions that we understand what they died for... Strengthened by their courage, heartened by their valor, and borne by their memory, let us continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived and died. – Ronald Regan ***************************************************************************** History does not entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid. – General/President Dwight Eisenhower ***************************************************************************** There are many of us veterans who have medals that no one will ever see. We don't wear them on our uniforms, our caps, or our jackets. We wear them on our body in the form of scars on our flesh or in our mind. They are only known to us, our brothers, and our close family members.
