‘Daily News’ Honors Firefighters With Hitler Reference

The lead of Damon C. Williams’ article about two late firefighters who were honored with a plaque:

SEPTEMBER 1939 is a month etched in history books as the beginning of a world conflagration.

That month, Hitler invaded Poland, leading Great Britain to declare war on Germany, which ultimately led to U.S. involvement and World War II.

On a side note, I would totally recommend checking out Williams’ Twitter page, which is an awesome combination of slang, old-timey newspaper speak and the acronym YFJ, which stands for Your Favorite Journalist.

Top o the mornin’, peeps! Regulatin’ like Warren G. Time for YFB to upload a video to YouTube.
