Daniel thanks for your service that night. My dad was also working that night of the flood. I was only 12 years old but remember that night as well. This was the first time I saw my dad cry when he finally made it home after that night.

You are always remembered in my heart along with the fireman that lost their lives that night. God bless you for your service. I hope you have rested well....I do remember the time we met...You were introduced by dad to us. Take care
