Yes, it was very interesting when my Firefighter brother, Steven Gregory, was sent to a dermatologist by his workmen's comp carrier--he was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus!!! What the hell could a dermatologist tell him about his cancer? The expert witness hired by his attorney was a specialist in cancer causing agents, especially those ... Read Morethat firefighters come into contact with, he cited 19 references as to why Steven's cancer was job related AND the dermatologist testified that his cancer wasn't job related! What a joke and so much for Presumptive Laws! Oh, my brother won his case, even after 3 appeals by his workmen's comp carrier--so there!

It was a great tribute to our fallen brothers. The venue was excellent, the speakers were good, and with all services it was emotional. The ringing of the Last Alarm, playing of Taps, the Bagpipes playing , and the missing man fly-over got me.
RIP and we will never forget.
