Title: Don't forget the hero's at home
Post by: MikeBjerum on July 10, 2011, 10:04:54 PM

Thought I was going to make it through this year, but I thought about it all through church this morning.  Just when I got it out of my mind this evening I received a call from a friend that fought for us that Monday evening and ended up in the hospital along with several others.

Don't ever forget the hero's that are in our lives daily and put it all on the line at a moment's notice!

Amen, M58.
Our younger son has chosen firefighting as a profession and is both a full-time firefighter in one county and a volunteer in another. He went through certification on his own time, while still a senior in high school, and was recently recognized as the youngest person to complete all the certification requirements and levels in the state.

All these guys, firefighters/EMT/LEO's put it out there every hour......God Bless 'em.

All we have round here are volunteer firemen, don't know how they do it, and the Sheriffs Deputies are paid 25000.00 a year,  GOD BLESS them.

Damn, I make more than that, and if the machine acts up I can kick it.
