Forged by Fire Quotes

“Karen’s eyes flash and her hand leaves a stinging slap on my cheek. Just before she turns away from me, just before I watch her walk out of my life forever, just before the love she once had turns to hate, I see the tears in her eyes, and it kills me.”

“When I am called to duty, God, whenever flames may rage; Give me strength to save some life, whatever be its age. Help me embrace a little child before it is too late, Or save an older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout, And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me, To guard my every neighbor and protect his property. And if, according to my fate, I am to lose my life; Please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife.”

“These seats are for family and they fit the bill. Dad always said there were three types of family, the ones you were born into, the ones you choose for yourself and the ones who choose you. These people chose Dad, they chose us, and they’re as close as any family can be.”

“Even through her coma of grief, Mom was in awe of the complete strangers standing shoulder to shoulder on this road. Some were saluting, many were crying, all of them suffering the loss of a great man they probably didn’t even know. That’s okay, though, I knew him. I know he deserved the respect of each and every one of them.”
