I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.  ". . . with liberty and justice for all."

"The Fireman's Boots"

The members of his company always prayed when they took off their boots,
But this time so many would not be taking off their boots.
This day his prayers were heavy in his heart and God heard them.
Up from the dust and smoldering ashes came Old Glory.
He knows they did not lose their lives, they gave them.
God Bless America!

Madison, Wisconsin Patch Special pages dedicated to the FDNY and 9/11.  Fire Memorials.  Patches and Classic collection of vintage Fire Boots and other unique and interesting Fire items.  Check our special tribute to FDNY Ten House.

Engine 10 - Ladder 10, The FDNY TenHouse

This site is a display of Firefighting Boots, Patches, Memorials, and other items.  The site features a display of many fire boots, several of which are very old and come from fire departments across the country.  The tall three quarter (30") rubber fire boots are becoming very rare and this site is dedicated  to these classics!

As I travel across the USA, it has become apparent that many interesting sites are related to firefighting.  This includes the Iowa Firefighters Memorial and even the lone fire truck (ready for action) in the front yard of a volunteer  firefighter in a small town in Wisconsin!  The visit to "Ground Zero" in New York was an extremely emotional experience.

A few fire Departments are featured on this site with several of the FDNY Companies.  Our condolences and deepest sympathy go to those in the World Trade Center, those on the hijacked airliners, those in the Pentagon, and the New York Firefighters who lost their lives September 11, 2001.

Check the Links page for what may be the most complete list of FDNY Companies (Engines, Ladders, Rescue, and Squads) that have web sites.

Proud to support our troops and our President
