I wanted to let those families of those brave firefighters in Arizona, know how sad I am for this tragic loss of life, but also how proud I am of the brave, firefighters, who serve with the bravery, love of country, and a willingess to always go in harms way to protect us. 

My thoughts and prayers are with these familes, and the firefighters, and thank each of them for their service.   I also thank all of the Firefighters in Morrisville, and Wake County for what they do, every day, for all of us.
