On behalf of the law enforcement officers and first responders of the U.S. Soccer Heroes, we send our thoughts and prayers to the family, friends and colleagues of fallen Jersey City Fire Captain Greg Barnas.  Captain Barnas, 57, died after fighting a fire at a Wallington, New Jersey restaurant last Friday.

Captain Barnas will be laid to rest today, honored by thousands of area firefighters and first responders.

But sound aloud the praises, and give the victor-crown
To our noble-hearted Firemen, who fear not danger’s frown.
~Frederic G.W. Fenn, “Ode to our Firemen,” 1878
