About me: The Perry Point Fire Department was opened on July 9, 1918 and is now part of the Facilities & Engineering Service, Perry Point Division of the VA Maryland Health Care System (VAHMCS). This section provides fire protection for a 364-acre medical center campus consisting of approximately 50 clinical and administrative support buildings and 100 single family dwellings. The department is responsible for responding to all fires and calls for assistance, to include hazardous materials incidents, and performing all firefighter duties associated with rescue, fire suppression, salvage and overhaul. We also operate a rescue boat for the purpose of searching the shoreline of the Susquehanna River for eloped patients and rescuing endangered persons.
WISHING YOU THE BEST YEAR OF YOUR LIFE! The Law of Attraction as seen in the movie The Secret (courtesy of Susan Gregg):
There is enough time, money, love, food, joy, happiness, sadness and anger. There really is enough of anything we could possible want. The world is abundant. The universe is filled with riches beyond your imagining. The only limitations that exist live between your ears. The only limitations we have are those that are created by our beliefs, agreements and assumptions.
If you believe there isn't enough there won't be. If you know there is enough you will have more than enough. Open up to the abundance of the universe and allow all the blessings available to flow easily and effortlessly into your life.
You deserve it and there really is more than enough.
Let's all remember this in 2008!!
Best wishes to you for the BEST YEAR OF YOUR LIFE!
VETERANS DAY, NOV. 11, 2007 Veterans Day gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. veterans. However, most Americans confuse this holiday with Memorial Day, reports the Department of Veterans Affairs. What's more, some Americans don't know why we commemorate our Veterans on Nov.11. It's imperative that all Americans know the history of Veterans Day so that we can honor our former servicemembers properly. REMEMBER A VETERAN ON VETERANS DAY!
