Ryan: Good to be back home
GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan told members of the Oak Creek Fire Department this afternoon that it’s good to be back home.
“I’ve been in this bay with you guys before,” Ryan told firefighters, standing next to Chief Tom Rosandich inside the city’s firehouse No. 3, according to a pool report.
Ryan sat down for lunch with fire fighters at long tables set in the middle of the firehouse bay.
“I just wanted to come on the anniversary of 9/11 to say thank you to all of you who are the first responders and what you do for us every day,” Ryan said.
“This is a day where we as Americans think and remember people who lost their lives. We are thankful for those of you who put their lives on the line for us every day. So we are here simply to bring notoriety and a gift of thanks for what you do for us on a daily basis.”
"We just really appreciate it. Let’s dig in.”
Ryan, R-Janesville, and department members ate lasagna with salad and bread, along with apple juice and milk.
