WILDLAND FIREFIGHTERS
Wildland firefighters rarely get the recognition they deserve. It isn't until they've fallen that most people think of them ~ but some of us know. We know the worry, the grueling work, and the pain of losing a brother or sister in this fire family of ours. We've shed the tears & held the flag... we know.
This week, we lost three of our own. And painful memories flood back.
They do one of the most difficult and thankless jobs in the world, and too often the only recognition they receive comes after the ultimate sacrifice. Today, I ask you to take just a moment to think of them. Thank them if you see them. Pray for them if you believe ~ and even if you don't, those prayers still help.
They are some of the greatest human beings I have ever known. Their hearts for service ~ for our communities, our safety, our homes, and our families ~ is something that words scarcely capture.
Keep them in your thoughts. They are the unsung heroes among us, and they deserve to be known long before we lose them. ✌️
