The New England FOOLS optimize the DTRT acronym. Strong work brothers and sisters.
I recently read a quote that struck a chord, "If you have the ability, you have the responsibility to act."
This quote takes DTRT to a new level.
We recently sent a donation to the Waldo County Firefighters Association to be distributed to the families affected by the fire and explosion at Robbins Lumber.
This donation would not have been possible without the efforts of our supporters, both who contributed and those who purchased tickets.
This donation is a part of the New England FOOLS continued efforts to the fire service throughout New England.
For those who need refreshing:
DTRT
“Do The Right Thing”
-facere ius rei-
“With everything going on in our lives, both personnel and professional, this may be sometimes hard to do. We are always pulled in several directions when there are tough decisions to be made. Even after weighting all the possibilities or options, decisions are sometimes still very hard to make. But, under closer examination, there usually is a “right thing”. It may take personnel sacrifice, it may not be what you really would want to do, but it is the correct thing to do.”
–Lieutenant Bob Pressler, FDNY, Retired
