"Remember
The Brothers"
My
name is Jake Lathrop, I'm now a 24 year old Resident
Firefighter/EMT in Pierce County, Washington State. A
co-worker and I came up with the design of this tattoo to
help deal with the pain, our young souls felt that tragic
day. I believe that our job is to protect our community, even
if that means to give our life.This does not make us heroes.
Instead the heroes are the ones who wait for us at home,
unaware of weather or not we will return after our shift.
My tattoo is now a daily reminder of what we as firefighters
may willingly face every time we bunk up. Years
later, I will be proud to explain to my grandchildren what the
only tattoo on my body means to me.
