Mr.. Maefarland's Address.
Thanks go with congratulations as l
hand you this flag For it represents
faithful service and high achievement
on your part. It stands not only for
the fact tina. the committee Of inspec-
ton found you and your house and ap-
paratus In the most efficient condition
but also for the fact that there was no
complaint against your company, or any
one OF its members during the past year.
We are all proud Of you because Of this
record. It means that you have dis
tinguished yourselves among the ser
wants OF the District. and deserve the
admiration Of the community. We do
not forget that throughout the year, as
throughout all years. the members Of
the Fire Department have been IN daily
peril. and from time 10 time have stood
in the very face OF death
No military hero Is more heroic than
you are You have not only the bravery
which is common 10 our race but the
cool intelligence and the patient endur-
anCe and. above all the unaffected
modesty OF the true hero. Remember
In the hour Of danger that you have
the sympathy and appreciation o. your
superior officers. and Of all who know
the work you do IN defense OF the lives
and property OF your fellow citizens"
