I left the squad a year to soon I never would have thought this could be We laughed, we cried, we fought, and we died Brothers we go to work or volunteer We believe in providing for others We are the care givers and the rescuers Each day we see life We see it given and we see it taken but to lose our own we will always mourn you And in our heart we will fight on knowing that each new day could be our last even if it means our lives we will do our job and save others Even amidst tragedy you tried to save and in the end it took your lives In your death it took part of our life too May those of us who remember your names who worked with you side by side May we live as bravely as each of you died.
