:45:16
It's never an easy thing.
:45:18
Saying good bye to a brother firefighter.
:45:23
And this time is particularly difficult
for me because I watched Jack
:45:28
growing to a one of the finest firefighters I've ever known.
:45:34
He joined this department because
he wanted to help people.
:45:38
Who knows how many homes is still
standing because Jack was there.
:45:43
How many lives were spared.
:45:47
He gave his life for that cause.
:45:52
We'll never forget you, Jack.
:45:55
And we are better for ever knowing you.
:46:02
But I make you this one promise,
:46:03
tomorrow
:46:07
we will be back on the truck.
:46:09
Because you was the bravest of the brave.
:46:13
People are always asking me:
:46:16
How is it that firefighters
run to a burning building,
:46:19
when everyone else is running out?
:46:21
Jack, he would answer that question
by saving another man's life.
:46:27
Your courage is the answer.
:46:34
And today we will be as brave as you.
:46:39
I'm not mourning you,
I'm celebrating your life.
:46:44
So I'd like everyone to stand up
and celebrate the life
:46:47
of Jack Morrison.
