I saw this on the Heralds comments page... I had to share... We’ll Take it From Here They didn’t know going in But they knew, they knew But when all Hell broke loose They should have withdrew That wasn’t in their nature They had to push ahead Instead of going the safe way Took the hero’s way instead We’ve each faced that moment When we have to decide That’s the point when lesser men Retreat safely outside But not these brave firefighters They would have none of that For they had a job before them Which they had to get at So they pushed ever forward Through smoke, through heat No giving up now for them No sounding retreat But the fire got behind them And their water ran out That’s when they realized And in crept some doubt “Is someone coming to get us?” You could now hear their fear The Lieutenant calls another Mayday Hoping someone will hear They fought bravely still, however Asking for more water Letting their brothers know Saying, “It’s getting hotter” Only another fireman can gauge Bya muffled transmission The moment a battle against fire Becomes a rescue mission Every man on that scene Knew only too well Without quick intervention This could be a death knell Their brothers fought to reach them But it was not to be They were ordered from the building Despite each man’s plea We know what the dangers are Before we sign on We put our lives on the line From day one and thereon Now these heroes will be honored By all of their peers We’ll march and salute them Try to hold back our tears God bless you, Mike and Ed… You’ve been given “all clear” So go enjoy your rest brothers We’ll take it from here Capt.
