THANK YOU JOSH! Your sacrifice for our freedom is truly appreciated! As a veteran of the 70's, I served at a time when there was other threats to our country. Yet, I did not have to step up as you have. The following is posted where I read it everyday, do not know the origin of it but it is a reminder for all of us~ "A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check payable to "United States of America" for an amount "up to and including my life." That is honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." While there are some that do not understand it, knowing that these firefighters~who have chosen to protect us also~understand it and are helping you. Prayers for you and your family always dear soldier!
