Re: Sheltering from Active Shooters
Thank you for sharing that. It is moving just to read about it. I agree with you that there is a forever debt we owe to those brave people.Marcus wrote: ↑Fri Apr 18, 2025 8:33 pmAbsolutely. His fellow firefighters showed up en masse at his funeral. But the most touching part was at his wake. His fellow firefighters stood guard for his entire wake, two at a time and in full dress uniform, changing shifts every half hour. If you've never seen that (as I hadn't) it is astonishing to observe. His son, who is now also a firefighter, took the first and last shift, along with a very close family friend.
Another friend, a retired firefighter now living in Florida, stood in the forested area above his burial location, and played the bagpipes, acting as 'the lone piper.' We owe a debt forever to the NYC firefighters who fought for us that day and sacrificed so much.

Glad to hear from you again! I miss you!
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
