I remained sub rosa for the weekend. Words can't express a firefighter's funeral. Thousands of firefighters were there with their trucks.

It was heartbreaking. Just around the bend in the road the trucks lined the roadway...

...they went on forever. The trucks lined both sides of the road and all the fireman were saluting us the entire way.

...I was somewhere towards the end of the line following the casket. There was something eerie and sad about seeing his jacket hanging right where he left it when he started his last call.
