From the national events like the memorial of Arizona 19 Hotshots in 2013, to the individuals in my home state that unfortunately are too numerous to name.Īnd each one - each one of you is a hero to the community.

And over the years, I’ve spoken to - at too many - too many funerals for fallen firefighters. Thirty years ago, I was the original co-sponsor with Paul Sarbanes and others of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Act. Thirty years ago - God, it seems like thirty years ago. You know, and I’ve - I’ve had to pay respects with you this past weekend on the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. Kevin, I hope - I - I can’t quite see what - I can’t see you out - in the front there, I think.Īnd I actually wish I could be there with you in person. Look, I want to take this opportunity to thank you all, to - for an opportunity to speak at this summit.Īnd it’s wonderful to see so many good friends, you know, sitting out there looking. Fire Administration is doing a great job. THE PRESIDENT: Doctor, thank you very, very much. Get Involved Show submenu for “Get Involved””.The White House Show submenu for “The White House””.
