We should leave the image on firetruck as is

Two of the principles that this country was founded upon are freedom of religion and expression. It is really sad to see that we have become more concerned with offending someone else's beliefs that we are willing to give up these beliefs.
The image on the Cedar Rapids Fire Department's truck should remain as is. As a volunteer firefighter, I believe that there is a higher power guiding me and my fellow volunteers, as with our professional brothers.
