When the Twelve Knights and King Arthur sat at the Round Table
surely they talked about women, about great drinking, and tales
went around the table which made them burst into side splitting laughter.
Then would come the news:
"It's time to go be a Hero", and, without question, they went to sacrifice
themselves for others, for the King, and to make the world a happier place.
They had no doubt that this was the only way worth living and dying for.
That is how I imagine the Firemen in Piermont's #13 Empire Hose
Company: Sitting around with Ladder 13, Dennis P. McHugh, a Hero
of the Twin Towers,
ready to fight to give more time for us mortals to live.
