Outside Ladder 18 Engine 15 the first firefighter we met, Dan Ligarzekski had actually served at the same base as Kevin at the same time. They may have passed each other in the Chow Hall. Again, the family connnection between the FDNY and the troops just keep getting more and more obvious.

Ladder 18 returned to the house, Engine 15 was still out at a ceremony. It was a busy day at 15/18, the President had been there in the morning for breakfast. Still, nothing beats news from our brothers and sisters in the service.

It was completely unintentional on my part to reach the firefighting unit in Iraq, but there they are again in 2005. I guess I should stop pointing out the connection, its just so obvious.
