I have to say that it takes motivation and dedication to put together a photo opprotunity with the entire Battalion. Thanks to the guys at Station #2 for putting it together. It is guys like you who raise the bar. What will we think of next.

Special thanks to Travis Collins for the pictures. Click on the picture to see other pictures of the day.

It was wonderful to see the Chief out and about being more of his normal self.

I think we should send a special thanks to the wife of Richard Lipes (I don't know her name sorry) for taking a day away and coming out to take all of the pictures for us.

And a nod to Ladder 7 C-Shift for coming to set a platform for her to take the photos from and also all of the southside units that picked up the calls that allowed us to participate. A job well done to all of you, it meant alot to all of us to be able to be there.

But I will have to disagree with Rhett about Station 2 setting the bar high. The bar was raised by Chief Obenchain. We're just trying to keep up with his standards.

Thanks guys
