Bigger worries than fire truck decals

Many of us are going through hard times. The economy has some worried about keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table. Many are homeless. Many are fighting a life-threatening disease.
There is one person out there who has no worries - the citizen who complained about the decal on one of our fire trucks. Lucky you!
The cost to change this decal to suit you could feed a family of four for a week. Perhaps you could offer to pay for this change. Better yet, feed a poor family of four for a week.
