On November 11th the San Jose Fire Department took part of the annual Veteran's Day Parade. Truck 1 and old Truck 4 were set up as a ladder bridge proudly flying the American Flag as the parade members passed under her.
President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day (Veterans Day) in 1919 to honor Veterans of all wars both past and present. It is a day to honor the living and dead heroes and
she-roes that made the commitment to protect our liberties.
Elmer Davis wrote,"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave."
We are all grateful for their continued sacrifice as they were, and are the definition of true patriots. Cheers for the living and tears for the dead.
Thank you to DC Carrillo, BC Conant, Captain Foreman, and the crew of Engine and Truck 1A for their volunteer efforts and working with the parade organizers to ensure a great event.
