| US Air Force Photo |
| This photo gallery is dedicated to our Military Firefighters In Iraq And The Persian Gulf |
| Continuing a tradition that goes back to World War I, todays US Military Firefighter stands shoulder to shoulder with other combat troops serving in Operation Iraqi & Enduring Freedom. You won't see their stories on the nightly news or the cable news channels, but they are there, "Protecting Those Who Serve" So here is our tribute to the Military Firefighters that serve or have served in OIF and OEF. We also want to include the American Contractors that provide Fire & Rescue Services to our troops. We rely on our visitors to supply us with pictures and information to post on this page. Photos of firefighters, patches, stations and apparatus will be posted, any branch of service. |
