Year Started in Fire Service: 1977

Rank: Firefighter (private)

Description:
I am a third generation firefighter. Might say I was born into the fire service. "911" effected me greatly and I decided to show my feelings by showing what I think of my brother firefighters in a permanent fashion which I carry with me always.

This is a picture of a full sleeve which I began right after 911. The first is a Maltese Cross with the 3 forefighters staking the flag in the rubble. The newest and one I am most proud of is in the middle which is a firefighter carring a child in his arms.

Last and very meaningful is a Phoenix. This shows that no matter what we will rise from the ashes and be strong. All together they show me daily the strength of the brotherhood of which I am a proud part of.
