Hey blog readers...today is the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Well Clay Fire decided to jump on board. I can honestly say that I have never truely been affected by breast cancer. I know people that have been diagnosed and survived, but I would be fooling you if I said it affected me, touched me, yes. I am more aware of it, but it has not changed my daily life. That would be my definition of affected. However, I have decided to look into breast cancer closer and am going to use my blog to point out some of the things that I will discover. Maybe even help you all learn something you don't already know. I am not usually a band wagon jumper, but this time I have decided to jump in both feet and learn about this disease.
Glendale Fire Department in Glendale Arizona has a Pink Fire truck they are touring the country with right now. Our Fire Marshall decided to contact them and see if they would stop by our station on their tour. Well they did and it was today. It was a very moving tribute (no pun intended). This Pink fire truck was signed by Breast Cancer survivors, and it was completely covered. Our department decided to put all of our fire fighters in Pink t-shirts, for this occassion. Here are some pictures from the visit...(if you want to see more...visit my myspace www.myspace.com/clayfire40 and look at the album).

So as you see from the pictures...things were a big success. I will close this post for now, but I will be adding todays Breast Cancer fact in another post.
So as always...
Be Kind, Be Safe, Be Aware
Shalom my Peeps.
