They
seem
in
the
view
of
the
foolish
to
be
dead
and
their
passing
forth
was
thought
and
affliction
they're
going
forth
from
us
utter
destruction,
but
they
are
in
peace
for
if
before
others,
indeed
they
be
punished,
it
is
their
hope,
full
of
immortality
chastised
to
little.
They
shall
be
greatly
blessed
because
god
tried
them
and
found
them
worthy
of
himself
as
gold
in
the
furnace.
He
proved
them
in
his
sacrificial
offerings.
He
took
them
to
himself
in
the
time
of
their
visitation,
they
shall
shine
and
they
shall
dart
about
his
sparks
through
stumble.

As
I
have
often
said,
this
off
this
department
does
an
incredible
job
of
honoring,
their
own.
Many
things
have
changed
throughout
the
years
in
the
fire
service,
but
this
time-honored
tradition
of
remembering
our
own
at
this
solemn
annual
ceremony
is
a
cornerstone
of
this
department
that
will
live
on
forever.
E
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
current
members
of
the
department
for
their
excellent
work
over
the
past
year,
especially
with
the
challenges
providing
fire
and
ems
during
the
pandemic.
I
am
proud
of
their
work.
I
also
want
to
thank
chelsea,
pd,
911
and
dpw
for
their
great
working
relationships
and
their
assistance
with
today's
event.
F
Thank
you
very
much
deputy
thank
you
for
inviting
me
to
join
you
this
morning.
It
really
is
so
nice
to
be
able
to
gather
publicly
again
for
events
like
this.
It's
been
such
a
long
year
and
difficult
year
for
all
of
us,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
just
to
express
publicly
the
city's
gratitude
to
the
families
of
our
fallen
firefighters,
and
also
to
echo,
the
chief
and
just
expressing
my
gratitude
to
the
current
members
who
are
serving
us.
F
This
department
performed
with
extraordinary
professionalism
but
more
important
to
me
with
deep
and
real
empathy
for
our
residents,
and
for
that
I
am
just
so
proud
of
this
department.
You
know
this
department
is
held
in
very
high
regard
across
the
commonwealth.
I
hear
that
wherever
I
travel
in
municipal
government,
but
to
the
extent
that
you
could
elevate
that
reputation
even
higher,
you
actually
did
so
during
the
course
of
this
endeavor.
So
again
my
deep
gratitude
to
the
members
of
this
department.

Each
year,
ceremonial
carnations
are
laid
in
honor
and
memory
of
our
fallen
brothers.
This
year
we
lost
three
of
them,
we'll
always
honor
and
never
forget
their
sacrifices
that
they
and
their
families
have
made
for
this
local,
this
department
and
the
residents
of
the
city
of
chelsea.
We
will
never
forget.

That
concludes
our
ceremony.
For
today,
I
would
like
to
thank
all
who
attended
brother
and
sisters
past
and
present
family
and
friends,
members
of
the
city,
council,
city
manager,
tom
ambrosino,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
queso
family
from
dunkin
donuts,
peter
and
donna
zacheski
of
the
welsh
funeral
home
who
donates
the
memorial
cards
every
year.
It's
greatly
appreciated
our
brothers
and
sisters
in
blue
from
the
police
department
and
members
of
the
dpw
directed
by
fidel
maltes
greatly.
C
Firefighter's
prayer,
when
I
am
called
to
duty
god,
wherever
flames
may
rage,
give
me
strength
to
save
a
life
whatever
be
its
age,
I'm
going
to
embrace
a
little
job
before
it's
too
late
to
save
an
older
person.
The
horror
of
that
fate
enable
me
to
be
alert
to
hear
the
weakest
shout
and
quickly
and
efficiently
put
the
fire
out.
