"I am a firefighter. I may not be here tomorrow, so you should take advantage of me tonight." - courtesy of a fellow Firefighter
I graduated from Frostburg State University in May of 2007 with a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice and minors in Sociology and Political Science. I own a yellow lab named Drake. He's now a year and a half. I am working for the Washington D.C. Fire and EMS Department. I am assigned to Truck 10 on Platoon #1. Living back in good ol' H-town trying to find a place with my boy Nate. I am also a volunteer firefighter with the Hurlock Volunteer Fire Company, Station 6. If you wanna know more send me a message or catch me on .. FF C Henry
John Allen Pickett, Jr "Al P". Words can't explain how close we became in the short time that we knew each other. It felt as if I knew you my whole life, like we were brothers. This is not the way it should be right now, I just can't believe it happened. You brought so much happiness into this place. It will not be the same without you. At least I have some great memories of us together that can never be lost. Even though you are gone, and are greatly missed already, you will never leave my heart. I love you Al P!

Manuel Antonio Ruiz - Words can't explain how bad I miss you. You were my hero. I'll always remember the days of Food Lion, teaching you to be a slack ass, those crazy times down in OC, and every other time we were together. I respect you for what you have done, I don't know how you did it. You will be forever missed and always with me. I love you bro! R.I.P. 3/19/1985 - 2/7/2007

Gotta love Sarge!
Bless me father for I have sinned, it has been a very long time since I last spoke with you. I must admit, I have sinned, well, quite a bit. Im unkempt, Im rugged, I yell, I cuss, I spit, I destroy. I get loud and out of control when Im with my friends. I shake the hand of my brethren, then I tell him what a bastard he is, how filthy his mother can be, and this is at the dinner table. Im reckless with my body and my life, but never with that of my brother, or someone in need. I drive loud and recklessly through the city streets. I use your name in vain, every single time I see smoke and fire. However, I am not ashamed, and I dont regret any of this. This is because, by the good graces of you, My God, I am a God-damned firefighter.
