MIDI - WEARIN' O THE GREEN

I am Irish and I’m proud to serve with fellow firemen
They risked their lives for you today and they’ll do it again
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, come here, you can kiss my royal Irish ass

They’re the bravest men I’ve known…and I will miss them everyday
I retain them in my heart…they are never far away
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, come here, you can kiss my royal Irish ass
You will die, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass

Never thinking of their safety, on their mind is saving lives
They never know if they will make it home to see their wives
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, come here, you can kiss my royal Irish ass

They’re the bravest men I’ve known…and I will miss them everyday
I retain them in my heart…they are never far away
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, come here, you can kiss my royal Irish ass
You will die, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass

I’ll press on and do the job that I was trained to do
And I’d trust my own life with every member of the crew
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, come here, you can kiss my royal Irish ass

They’re the bravest men I’ve known…and I will miss them everyday
I retain them in my heart…they are never far away
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, come here, you can kiss my royal Irish ass
You will die, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass

FIREMAN MIKE MORAN'S COMMENTS

[CT]

A question:

I know Mike's brother was Freeper, FCM. Is MIke?

If so, Mike, way to go!

[doug from upland]

I don't know if Mike is, but I hope there is a way I can get this to him.

[notaliberal]

Let Mike Moran know how much you appreciate his comments

Rockaway Fire Department NY

[doug from upland]

Pinging you

[notaliberal]

The link takes you to the web page but the email link doesn't work, sorry! I should have checked out first.

Mea culpa!

[doug from upland]

Thanks anyway. There will probably be a New Yorker who can help.

[StarFan]

DFU, after reading the first stanza I found it difficult to continue through tears. This MUST get to Mike's bro.

Low, Appy Pappy, areafiftyone, KLT can you help here?

[lowbridge]

Anyone got a printer? (I don't)

Maybe someone could print up the lyrics and send it to:

Mike Moran
204-26 Rockaway Point Blvd.
Rockaway Point, N.Y. 11697

[MadelineZapeezda]

Mike Moran is on the radio KDKA right now.......a.m.dial 1020 as I write this

[doug from upland]

Thanks for the address but with the mail the way it is, he might not open it. I'd love to have a fax for the department.

MIKE RIPS HILLARY'S "CLAPTRAP"

[The Right Stuff]

Mike's brother John was FReeper BCM, which we have since taken to mean Battalion Chief Moran. I don't know if Mike is a FReep, but if he is and if he sees this - EXCELLENT JOB today on Rush, Mike! And, my condolences on the loss of your brother and all of your comrades in arms.

You are the bravest and the best. We salute you.

Hey Doug, I found a music producer that has agreed to record your song probono if you (and the freeper community) will help to promote it and distribute it to t.v. & radio stations, etc.

If we can't get the go-ahead on the music rights,he'll compose something new that goes with your lyrics, if that's okay.

All proceeds will go to the victims fund.

[doug from upland]

I would feel honored if this could help bring in funds for these guys. Tell the producer ------- Let's roll!

[doug from upland]

How do we find out about the music rights? Any FReeper help?

[Vetnet]

I've got two calls out, but any others, please chime in!
