For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day
His helmet has been replaced by a Crown.

I'm torn between whether I should weep for our losses, or praise God Almighty that we have been blessed with Heroes such as these. There are giants that walk among us, and their faces are etched in the ether of FreeRepublic...
To: AppyPappy
A Hero and a FRiend. Rest in Peace, BCM.

My heart and prayers go out to his family. God love them all. My heart is so heavy now. We find out we lost two in one day. I got to tell you my fellow Freepers, this is starting to really take its toll on me today with our Country and now two fellow Freepers. Such a heavy heart.
To: AppyPappy
Thank you Lord for lending us this man for a too short period of time. We are grateful that he was our friend, that he shared our love of country and our love of fellow Americans. It makes sense that you would want him back, but we're saddened at his loss.

From a suburban Minneapolis Firefighter I stand and give BCM a salute.
If I remember correctly at FDNY they ring bell code 5-5-5-5.
Battalion Chief Moran, your job is now done. Rest well in heaven.
You and all your comrades may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.
To: AppyPappy
Thank you for this post.

Such sad news. May God bless Battalion Chief Moran (BCM) and give his family the strength, love and support they'll need to carry on without John. Prayers and condolences are on the way to his family.

praise God Almighty that we have been blessed with Heroes such as theseI was thinking the same thing. At times like these, we find our real heroes. The men who give their lives and the men who leap into the gap to take their places. America needs more John Moran's.
Our nation's treasure: their last full measure
With full devotion poured.
To: AppyPappy
No end to bad news, here, there, or anywhere.
Bless our Freeper Chief, and firefighters everywhere.

Battalion Chief John Moran One of the bravest of the brave. This is a sad day on FR.
To: AppyPappy
God comfort his family during this time of grief. Lord, welcome another valiant warrior home.

Thank you for posting this sad news, AP.
Here is the Man in the Arena speech requested by freefdny, posted here in memory of a hero ..... one who paid the ultimate price for daring to enter the arena.
The Man in the Arena
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena...who strives...who spends himself...and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
-Teddy Roosevelt

This is horrible. I am becoming overcome. I need to get a little time away from FR; it's becoming a place to get depressed lately.
