Concord (Mass.) Fire Chief Ken Willette sent me a reminder this week to again request and post online the names of firefighters serving in the military overseas. Willette must have ESP, because I had planned to do just that this week.

If you know of a firefighter/soldier serving overseas who might enjoy a holiday greeting card or note of appreciation, send his or her mailing address and it will be posted on FireChief.com. If you know of a firefighter/soldier in the hospital, send his or her contact info along, also.
