This was played at my mothers funeral Took me learning to play the pipes and learning to plat amazing grace and lot of time before I stopped choking up Had the priveledge of piping my Dads ashes away Still gets me from time to time Respect to all veterans Also love you and miss you Mom
For anyone serving in Law Enforcement, Fire Protection, First Response, or Military, this song for some reason hits a soft chord in our spirits. Truly a chilling, peaceful, and solemn melody played by a pipe band.
To all my brothers and sisters who put their lives in jepardy helping individuals or towns, you are the true heroes. I am one of those First Emergency Responders with in Arizona and I love what Id. For 35 yrs serving and proud to serve, but I can not and never will get over how many have given their lives for their loved ones, families, relatives or just someone on the street Keep up the amazing duties you do. Than you to all and remember, never forget the ones that are taken away from all of us. God bless the Granite Mountian Hotshot fighters and we will always hear you and will always remember what we do. Thank you from a 35 yr Fire fighter In Arizona and EM
such a rousing tune. Amazing Grace. What a tribute. As a professional bagpiper, I've played at many memorials and funerals. How incredible it would have been to be part of this!
The hymn “Amazing Grace” was written by John Newton (1725-1807), an English former slave trader who converted to Christianity and became an ordained minister. But while Newton composed the words and set them to music, nobody knows what that music was. Newton published the song in a hymnal, which (as was the practice at the time) contained only the words but not the music. Some copies of Newton’s hymnal crossed the Atlantic, where his compositions were popular during the Christian revival known as the Great Awakening. An American Baptist named William Walker (1809-75) set Newton’s words for “Amazing Grace” to a tune that Walker had composed, “New Britain” (which in turn was derived from two folk songs). The hymn became immensely popular among American Christians, then entered the broader popular culture, and later found its way back to Britain. In the 1970s, somebody found that “Amazing Grace,” with its haunting tune, worked exceedingly well when played on bagpipes-and thus it came to be associated in many people’s minds with Scotland. The tune is normally only played on bagpipes and thus is associated with Scotland.
not sure if you know but in the years since 9-11 over 25,000 groundzero rescue workers have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer which has been linked to the toxins in the air and pulverized building materials present at ground zero, wich is the greatest tradgedy of all.

This is not a single group, this is IAFF’s Mass Pipes & Drums volunteers who all came out for this HFD service. There were 15-ish different bands in this mass.
Jason Farrish again losing members of the family is always hard and leaves a void but this is a wonderful service to honor those lost. Thanks for sharing
Yes, it is tough. We lost the 5th person just the other day. Captain William "Iron Bill" Dowling died on March 7th, 2017, due to complications of the injuries he sustained in the fire that killed the 4 firefighters that this service was for.
Irish! Not British. Bagpipes commonly and been adopted to symbolize Firefighters and Police Departments all throughout the US. Most Fire Depts and Police Depts especially in big cities got their own Pipe and Drum band. If you trace back history and up to the present time, most members of the Police and Fire Departments where/are Irish or of Irish ancestry.

bagpiper, I've played at many memorials and funerals. How incredible it
would have been to be part of this!
The drum roll after the solo and all the pipers striking up at the same instant sent a shiver right through me.
My most sincere condolences and respects on the LODD.
as a Scot I will say this never have so many owed so much to so few, god bless you
who said it had anything to do with Scotland? I mentioned it as I am from Scotland
so sorry just in from work, well as it was such an American theme I thought I should state that I was from Scotland
