Take away their police force, fire department, etc, too.

One of the Officers from the Berkeley came into the Marine Recruiting Center this morning and told the Marines that the Berkeley Fire Dept supports them 100%

There were about 4 code pinkers there today, and about four Patriots to counter them.

Just for a little history of the patriotism of the Fire Dept, right after 911, they draped all of their fire engines with American Flags in support of the NYFD.

The Mayor made them take them off.

Needless to say, the Fire Fighters were heated up over that.

Fire Fighters have a brotherhood like the Marines do. They understand what it is to put your brother before yourself. I’m sure the Berkeley FD is completely P.O.d about the way our Marines are being slandered!

(Just a side story, I witnessed what a brotherhood Fire Fighters shared during the Southern California wildfires. I was helping at a Fire Fighter outpost in one of the areas hardest hit by the wildfires. A bunch of guys from FDNY had showed up there to serve their brothers food and support them in a hundred other ways. All the guys from FDNY used their vacation time and flew out to California on their own dime to help and serve their brothers. I walked among and talked with some of America’s Greatest Heroes that day. Most of the FDNY I spoke with were at the Twin Towers on THAT DAY 9/11. One of them shared the story of watching, witnessing and hearing fellow American’s falling to their deaths. I’ll never forget his story.)

THANK YOU Syncro, and for everyone else, for showing up and making a difference for our Marines.
