On August 4th the crews at fire station 7 hosted a brunch for Trace School faculty, administrators and the community. During this event that was MC'ed by BC Kevin Conant two presentations were made. The San Jose Firefighters Burn Foundation presented a check in the amount of $5000.00 dollars to the School District Superintendent, Dr. Vincent Matthews and Captain Jason Suarez presented a framed American flag that was found among the burned rubble inside of Trace School. Station 7 crew FE Ed Cueves, FF George Guerrero, and FF Jason Krassow also assisted with the presentation. BC Jim Voreyer read a poem that he wrote about the flag that was found. This poem is also framed, under the flag. The 6th alarm fire at Trace Elementary school on July 5th may have damaged the school but it has brought a community together and San Jose Fire Station 7 with the SJFFBF have become an integral part of the rebuilding process.

Hello,
I'd like a copy of the poem. Would you be able to email that to me or is there another website/blog I can go to to get it?
thank you,
