FROM THE DESK OF THE PIPE MAJOR
To our supporters:
YOU are the reason we can even exist. We do so much around the country (and now, around the world) to represent you in honoring and entertaining, and we couldn’t do it without you. We are all feeling the “crunch” of the economy, yet you are all still at every event we have. We can’t thank you enough. I promise that we will continue proudly representing you, and bringing you a product that you deserve.
To our Troops:
The sacrifices that you, and those before you have made are not worthy of mere words. We salute and honor you, and you are in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts with every step we take.
To our Brothers and Sisters in the Emergency Services:
We are all proud to be one of you. We walk with you and we are behind you, no matter what happens. I hope we make you proud, and please know that we will be here for you and/or your Departments if we’re ever needed…. I hope we never are.
To Wade:
Your faith and confidence in me pales in comparison to the trust you have in me to lead this awesome machine. But even more than that, I’m honored to call you my brother and my friend. Thank you so much, and I won’t let you down.
To the Executive Board:
We couldn’t have more perfect people in more perfect positions. For everything you do - the countless, thankless hours of work… For all of the things you do behind the scenes… You keep us going and I can’t thank you enough.
To the band:
I’m “welling up” as I type this… YEAH, SO? WHAT OF IT? “THE FUSE” HAS A HEART! BIG DEAL!
You are not under me, you are around me. I am not in front of you, I am next to you. I am only as good and as strong as you. You are the BEST OF THE BRAVEST AND FINEST! Don’t ever forget what we represent - the badge, the heritage, and everything they both stand for. I know what we are all willing to lay down for a perfect stranger, so imagine what we’re willing to do for each other! This is the truest Brotherhood I’ve ever known.
I need you, I love you, and I will not fail you.
Thanks!
