FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY -- Download "The Ballad of Mike Moran," aka "The Fireman Song"
http://www.firemansong.com/radiolink/index2.html ^ | DFU

Posted on 03/12/2004 12:02:43 PM PST by doug from upland

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. Here is an opportunity to get into the spirit by singing the song that was written for fireman Mike Moran to honor his FReeper brother, Battalion Commander John Moran (he was BCM on FR) and other men and women who lost their lives in the cowardly terrorist attack. Mike posts as royalIA.

For those knew to FR, this song was written after Mike Moran stood on the stage at the Concert for New York and told Osama bin Laden to "kiss my royal Irish ass."

DOWNLOAD HERE. If you would like to help benefit the families of those who died that day, you can order the song. NEVER FORGET.

Mike Moran has been on the radio this past week supporting our President.

We thank him from the bottom of our heart and pray for his family to be comforted in their loss.

How painful for the families to see the memorial desecrated by hateful rhetoric coming from those who support Kerry.

In case y'all, most especially Mike Moran, didn't know. The US Army Colonel commanding the troops of the 1st Brigade 4th Infantry Division, that captured Saddam is (or was, things change in the Army) an Irishman from Chicago, Col. James Hickey (Actually an American of course, but his parents immigrated from Ireland in 1950). . Seems sorta fittin', doesn't it?

Awesome.
Thank you so much.
May you have a blessed St. Patrick's Day.

P.S.: I still get choked up listening to it. I find myself whistling and singing the song throughout day.
Thanks again.

On a sad note, two Pittsburgh firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty on Saturday while fighting a fire in a church.

Some off duty firefighters had to leave the St. Patrick's day parade to help search for their lost brothers.
