Description
City of Chelsea, Chelsea Fire Department

This
is
our
50th
year
since
being
erected
back.
Then
it
was
built
with
the
blood,
sweat
and
tears
of
our
brothers
as
it
stands
before
you
now,
it
has
been
recently
renovated
within
the
past
year
will
be
completed
in
the
fall
and
will
have
etched
and
granted
the
11
members
of
local
937
that
have
paid
the
ultimate
sacrifice
that
died
in
the
line
of
duty
for
the
past
50
years.
We
have
gathered
here
to
pay
tribute
honor
and
memorialize.
Every
one
of
our
brothers
that
have
fallen
this
year
is
no
different.

Thank
you
very
much
deputy.
I
really
appreciate
the
invitation
to
join
you
with
this
morning's
assault
and
ceremony.
I
do
want
to
specifically
recognize
a
couple
of
local
electoral
officials
who
are
here
three
councilor
leo
robinson
city,
council,
judith,
garcia
and
behind
me,
city
councilor,
calvin
brown.
I
thank
them
for
joining
us.
G
This
weekend
was
actually
my
first
opportunity
to
spend
some
time
in
this
spectacular
new
memorial
next
to
me,
and
really
I'm
quite
impressed.
It's
such
a
fitting
tribute
to
those
who
have
given
their
lives
in
the
service
to
this
community,
and
it
really
is
important,
I
feel
but
municipality,
to
have
some
sort
of
problem
tribute
to
those
who
do
the
very
difficult
job
of
firefighting
in
an
urban
community.
G
I
say
this
often,
but
we
have
our
disagreement,
sometimes
with
rank
and
file
on
a
policy
or
a
practice.
It's
the
inherent
nature
of
labor
relations,
but
there
is
never
disagreement.
There's
never
room
between
us
when
it
comes
to
recognizing
the
tremendous
job
that
our
firefighters
do
in
this
community
on
a
daily
basis,
nor
in
the
heroic
way
that
chelsea
firefighters
have
served
the
residents
of
this
community.
G
For
the
past
generations,
I
can
assure
you
that
the
city
is
proud
of
and
thankful
for
our
firefighters
and
to
those
loved
ones
of
those
members
who've
passed
away,
but
serve
dedicated
their
lives
to
the
service
of
the
city.
I
want
to
express
you,
on
behalf
of
the
city,
our
eternal
gratitude
for
the
work
that
they
did
for
this
city.
In
this
very
noble
profession.
G
A
A
D
As
deputy
chief
said,
I'm
from
a
long
line
of
firefighters-
and
I
appreciate
coming
to
this
event
every
year
to
see
the
firefighter
families,
because
I
understand
we
are
one
big
family
and
sacrifices
made,
not
just
when
the
bells
go
off.
The
alarms
go
off,
but
also
the
the
holidays
and
the
birthdays,
and
this
the
christmas
is
missed
so
that
everybody
else
can
enjoy
their
peace
and
their
holidays.
D
Knowing
that
they're
being
protected-
and
I
don't
get
to
stay
here
for
the
whole
celebration
at
the
end,
I
have
go
back
to
charleston,
there's
two
priests
leaving
today
giving
their
last
mass
one's
at
10,
30,
father,
ronan
u.s,
army
veteran.
The
second
is
father
dean
mahoney
at
three
o'clock
this
afternoon.
D
So
I
have
to
go
back
over
the
bridge
with
those
masses,
but
the
relevance
of
bringing
that
up
is
father
mahoney.
For
those
of
you
who
know
him,
he
was
the
chief
chaplain
for
the
boston
fire
department
for
the
last
almost
50
years,
and
I
was
a
saint
francis
kid
in
the
senate,
son
of
a
firefighter.
So
he
went
easy
on
me.
A
H
H
And
when
I
sat
where
you're
sitting
today.
It
was
really
really
hard
for
me
because
I
just
wanted
him
there
with
me
to
to
be
there
and
he
wasn't,
and
it
was
his
day
that
we
honored
him
and
it's
hard
because,
as
you
remember,
your
loved
ones
that
you've
lost
over
the
last
year,
this
it
kind
of,
brings
it
back
up
right.
And
you
have
those
feelings
again.
H
H
This
this
service
is
very
different
than
any
other.
This
is
one
that
you
know,
we
say
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
line
of
duty.
This
really
is,
and
there's
family
members
like
myself
and
representative
ryan
that
grew
up
in
this
family.
We
understand
the
sacrifice.
We
understand
the
birthdays,
the
christmases,
the
things
that
are
missed
and
and
to
the
husbands
and
wives,
the
the
feelings
that
you
have
every
day
when
your
loved
one
gets
called,
and
you
watch
in
the
news
and
you
see-
is
there
a
bad
car
accident?
H
Is
there
a
fire,
something
that
you
know
they're
responding
to?
But
I
read
once
and
it
brought
me
comfort
that
firefighters
never
really
die.
They
live
forever
in
the
hearts
of
those
that
they
saved,
and
that
is
so
true,
whether
it
be
from
a
medical
emergency,
a
car
accident
or
a
fire.
Their
memories
live
on
and
every
single
person
who's
live.
They
touched.
So
I
hope
that
brings
you
comfort
today.
Thank
you
all
for
your
service,
your
currently
serving
the
families.
