Gene...what a great project; and who better to do it than the Firefighters who put their lives on the line each time they answer a call. May those in your area or within driving distance answer this call. Great story!
Have a great weekend.

Gene....what a great cause! Great for you to be putting it out there like that! Kudos to you! All the best in your quest to help others!

Always good to hear from you and Sal ...
