    Great job Philip!

    We are so proud of you! The graduation was a great celebration and we were glad to be a part of it.

    All of the guys in your class proved to be hard workers and very dedicated to furthering their knowledge in firefighting by completing this hard course. We really enjoyed the 9/11 speaker US Marshal Dominic Guadagnoli and seeing the slide show of pictures taken during your course.

    Hats off to you and the rest of the guys and all of the leaders.

    We love you!!!!
