“The Thin Red Line “
“The meaning of the Thin Red Line of Courage”
As firefighters are periled, they place their lives second to those they protect. They are forced to face their own fears and grasp for every ounce of courage to perform the necessary task. “The Thin Red Line of Courage” represents the last ounce of courage firefighters find deep in their blood to conquer their darkest fears in order to save and protect life and property. The firefighters from the Apex Volunteer Fire Department designed and developed the “The Thin Red Line of Courage” in 1999. Today, it is displayed to show respect for firefighters
This cache is placed at my second home, Silver Lake Vol F.D., a home of brothers that was founded back in 1961By Doug Batts and Blank Hill. Doug Batts became the first fire chief of Silver Lake V.F.D. and they started with one building, one engine, and one tanker.We now house two Engines, two Tankers, one air support unit, one brush/first responder truck, and one auxiliary truck, 30 firefighters and 15 auxiliary members.
This is a two part cache, please start with the center and follow the instructions. There is a FTF gift . We have also activated a TB that wants to see all the states before leaving the country. There is plenty of parking but if you should see a lot of cars or trucks pulling up at the same time, pay attention to them as there may be an emergency nearby, so PLEASE stay clear. We really hope you enjoy and have fun with this cache as much as we had making it.
Happy caching and thank a Firefighter.
Cache on.
