Please allow me this brief moment to share our sincere heartfelt thanks to all active, retired andUS military veterans weather currently serving or who have served proudly in the past. It is because of their bravery, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to this countries principles that allows us to enjoy the freedoms this great country offers each of us.
The York County & City of Williamsburg Professional Fire Fighters IAFF Local 2498 takes it commitment to recognize those serving or those who have served very seriously and has demonstrated that commitment this year by voting unanimously to developed and fund our US Military Veterans Appreciation Program and Union Hall's "Wall of Honor".
As we move through each day engaging in the day to day challenges this tough economic crises has presented us. Lets keep in mind that they are in no way measurable to the ultimate sacrifice so many of our proud men and women in our military have given us so that we may enjoy such freedoms.
Our prayers and thought are with the families and friends left behind by the tragic event at Fort Hood, to all those serving abroad placing themselves in harms way for all of us and to all those who are currently serving or who have served in the United States Military. Today, let's not reflect on our differences,instead lets focus on the most commonality we all share..That of a Proud American.......

What is the IAFF?
The International Association of Fire Fighters represents more than 281,000 fire fighters and emergency medical personnel, who protect 85 percent of the nation's population. The IAFF includes more than 3,000 locals in more than 3,500 communities in the United States and Canada.
The IAFF is the driving force behind nearly every advance in the fire and emergency services in the 20th century-from the introduction of shift schedules early in the last century to the enactment of SAFER in 2003. With extremely active political and legislative programs, and with recognized experts in the fields of occupational health and safety, fire-based emergency medical services and hazardous materials training, the IAFF has established professional standards for the North American fire service.
Today, the IAFF is the primary advocate for providing fire fighters and paramedics with the tools they need to perform their jobs. The IAFF provides a strong voice in the development and implementation of new training and equipment, and has worked hard to ensure the proper staffing of fire and EMS departments. The IAFF is a member driven organization-for fire fighters, by fire fighters
