Phoenix twisters,  just to let you know I only heard from two twisters, one
from Tucson and one from Phx.  Therefore I don't think I will pursue the
idea of doing something for the fire dept.  If I do anything it would be on
a  very small scale.   Just to clear something up.  The firemen did not feel
bad about not getting a medal, because they didn't go to Oklahoma City.  It
was the firemen that did receive medals that felt bad.  They were only doing
their job.  Every day there are thousands of men and women who leave home to
work the police, and fire stations.  They know when they say good-bye it may
be the last time.  They know the risks, and that they could lose their
lives, but they accept that as part of the job.  They don't see themselves
as hero's , they are just doing their job.  It take's a very special kind of
person to accept that risk, They love their jobs, and saving lives.
