Captain Wines,

Thank you so much for covering this story. I had the honor of working with Danny over the years and he was a true Brother. I went with Bethann to Washington to support Congressman Fitzpatrick’s efforts in the House. It was truly a moving experience. The new bill (HR 4018) has gotten some momentum but we still need support from around the Country. We must make this right, not only for Bethann and the girls, but for all. We demand equal protection under the law. Thank you once again for your efforts. It makes me proud.

Hey Cap,
Like you, I try to attend every funeral that I can, for our brothers and sisters in blue (Police) as well. Like I tell my son, “normal people just wouldn’t understand”. I once went to a funeral for a brother in my former Vol. FD. It was a non-LODD, and he wasn’t well liked by many people. A friend asked me, “why are you going to his funeral?, he was an a$$…” I said, that one day, it is going to be me in the box, and I would like to know that some people cared. Now, everytime I hear “Amazing Grace” on the Bagpipes, I tear up, remembering a good FD brother of mine that was murdered on 9/11.

Yet another great post. And I’d be asking about the ‘stache as well.

Captain Wines,
Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the funeral for Joshua Weissman because I am testing for “The Noke” tomorrow. I will also be with you all in spirit. Safe travels.

It is a shame that someone who sits in a very nice office that we pay for has the final say in how the family’s of our fallen brothers and sisters are taken care of let them come out here in the climate that we face everyday and the stress of the possibility that when we told our family good bye to start a shift that it might be the last time they every get to see us or talk to us I just don’t see how a man in a shirt and tie that has never seen half the crap we have tell us who is worth a benefit and who is not have him explain to those children why he thinks that their dads life was not worth the government benefit
