"It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke"

From President Obama's Inugaration Speech:

"It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke"


Not only the fact that he mentioned firefighters in his speech, he didn't use 9/11 or anything general to triumph firefighters or just use it to embelish his speech.......his words, and the entire speech spoke volume and was one of the best I've ever heard. The comment about storming a stairway filled with smoke shows, to me, that he really understands firefighters and their true job, and how firefighters represent true Americans.
