Very sorry to hear this.  For those that don't know, Curt was very active in the Friendship Fire Association (the DC group) and their Wagon Pipe newsletter.  He was also a well-known FAJ contributor.

 

Rest easy, Curt.

Saw many of his posts and pics with the FFA Newsletter sent to DCFD houses, and a FAJ now and then. Never met the man, and if I did, it may have been with him on the Canteen Unit. A credit to his field, may he rest in peace.

 

 

Stay safe, Brothers.

Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.

Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
