When disaster strikes, the truth isn’t written in the data…”

Written in the dust, in sweat, and in the sound of iron beneath the rubble.

We didn’t get involved to be mentioned.

We went in because some people were choking.

And there were souls that had to be withdrawn before death took them.

There are teams that work under the spotlight.

And there are teams working under the rubble.

And people know the difference.

We don’t ask for thanks.

And we don’t compete with anyone.

But we also won’t accept our men’s hard work being withdrawn from the scene.

Men of the field do not wait for acknowledgement.

But history always knows who were the first to arrive…

And who was the last to leave?

We will stay where we need to be.

Time of danger,

Time of silence,

And the time of truth.
