The
Blackened
Shield 
By Don
Whitney
[Signed
by the
Author]
The shield of a firefighter's helmet gets blackened from experience,
from meeting the challenges and confronting the dangers of the job day after day, night after night. Don Whitney
worked as a firefighter in on of New England's
oldest, most
densely
populated cities during the 60s, 70s and early 80s. When Don retired with
the rank of lieutenant, his helmet shield was battered and blackened from countless battles with the enemy.
And he had some stories to tell... And those Stories became
The Blackened
Shield.
