Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Larry Foccio,Thanks for being one of our heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow fire fighters that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great nation of ours.

We salute you , My Friend

Final Inspection

The fire fighter stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,fire fighter.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The fire fighter squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry fire hoses,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the fire fighter waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,fire fighter
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."

On behalf of a grateful nation, we honor and thank Larry Foccio, Firefighter/USN Veteran, Hero. He will never be forgotten.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom.
