In Peace Firemen: if Invaded Soldiers
I recently retired as a Fire Captain from Moraga Orinda Fire Protection District. I retired with almost 27 years of service. There was a plaque at station 42 that I had seen for as long as I could remember and it expressed my feelings as a firefighter. For many years I searched the net to find such a plaque, but could not find one. A year or so before I retired, a woman walked into the engine bay at station 41 and started a conversation with me. After a few moments she produced the plaque that I had been searching for. She asked if anyone in the station would like it. The guys that knew I was looking for that plaque could not believe it. It was at that time, it was cemented in my heart, that this was how I felt whether I would be working or retired.

Every fire station should have one of those plaques. MAYBE THAT COULD BE YOUR RETIREMENT MISSION CAPTAIN.
After helping Oath Keepers.

That plaque is amazing- It says it all. We LOVE our firefighters here at Oathkeepers. Your sacrifice and efforts do not go unappreciated here, like they do everywhere else. Thank you for the strong words:
In peace-Fireman, if invaded-Soldiers.
Thank you, Sir!

Hey Capt. I retired after 32 years in 06, not because I wanted to but due to a exposure in 69 to agent orange while in the army. I also feel as you and always have. Thank you for sharing, God Bless

Incredible plaque the words of which I’ve never seen the likes. What about our internal threats the founding fathers seemed more worried about?
On another related topic, I hope someday Firemen realize they’re being used and have been for years, to harass people that, “makes someone in the upper community mad”.
They could be an activist, whistle-blower, or as in my case, have a daughter that’s too pretty for her own good. Such that she gets targeted for literal mind control, organized crime leaving her father to be dealt with in his employment, the local community and even within my own family.
The symptoms that pointed to literal hypnotic mind control are dilated pupils, triggering, OCD, PTSD, sudden anxiety problems and a completely different attitude toward a dad that was very involved in their upbringing.
While your guys are doing their little ‘Street Theater’ thing to the actual target, their kids are being mobbed in school in an equally organized manner.
The goal is pressure on the family and is dependent on the cause of the stalking. Besides a huge hit in their self esteem, another well documented result of group bullying is suicide by the kids mobbed at school. In my case they spun her symptom as some sort of abuse at home. They’re using mind control, apparently trauma based, on KIDS!!
These people, as you may know, are ruthless and the police and fire are the backbone of their power in the street. If the Masons are the “good guys” as I’ve heard one person say, then why do they provide SUPPORT for these criminals?
While it’s fully realized this has likely been going on for as long as their has been a patriarchal society, and it goes so high there’s no way to stop it, as with any father I shall not give up until my daughters are free of this cancer on America.

I agree: you now have the logo for your branch of OK. I have decided to try to push/pester/convince younger cops (I retired after 30) of the same thing.
Thank you for your service and your heartfelt dedication to our Republic.

Tim
I am sorry for your horrific account.
But Don’t assume all are bad because you have had a bad experience.
Don’t cast aspersions on others when you have a problem.
These fine Public Servants lay down there life for you and others they don’t know.
Don’t be so quick to judge others because of your problems.

I am working in my 25th year on the FDNY and that plaque certainly DOES say what is all too often left unspoken in firehouses across the country.
I was made aware of this group by it being mis-characterized and slimed by a guest from the Southern Poverty Legal Foundation, on a national news/opinion show (The O’Reilly Factor) last night.
There ARE domestic enemies and those enemies have targeted police and fire departments by targeting their standards and seeking to eradicate the merit system, just as they’ve seek to poison the well for groups like this that merely seek to re-establish American Constitutional principles.
Be vigilant….for in a very real sense, we already have been invaded….by those opposed to our Founder’s Design and those cherished Constitutional principles.

Tim reads like a plant from a liberal group making crazy post on here in an effort to make oath keepers look like nuts.
