because he wanted to help people.

Who knows how many homes are

still standing because Jack was there...

...or how many lives were spared?

He gave his life for that cause.

We'll never forget you, Jack.

And we're better for having known you.

But I make you this one promise:

...tomorrow, when that bell rings...

...we will be back on the truck...

...because you were

the bravest of the brave.

People are always asking me...

...how is it that firefighters

run into a burning building...

...when everyone else is running out?

Well, Jack, you answered that question...

...by saving another man's life.

Your courage is the answer.

And today we will be as brave as you...

...by not mourning you,

but by celebrating your life.

So I'd like everyone to stand up

and celebrate the life...

...of Jack Morrison.

Thank you.
