Today, we Honor the lives of five AFFI Brothers as they are etched on the walls of the International Association of Fire Fighters Memorial.
But in this honored, reverent place,
their memories brightly shine
On this green field beneath the Rockies,
thankful hearts a tribute find.
When men and women ask the question,
“What do firefighters risk for me?”
These names in granite answer back,
“We’ve purchased your security.
Ceremony starts at 11:00am Central Time: www.youtube.com/live/-REVAUyKJYA?si=T-X630Q36oYkiICN

As described in The Fiery Struggle, the creation of the AFFI's Political Action Committee was perhaps the single most critical component to passing the Collective Bargaining Bill in 1985.
Starting at just $1 per member per month in 1978, this fund would put the AFFI on its way to becoming a political powerhouse in Springfield. #makehistoryhappen #throwbackthursday
