A photo of the blaze in Yosemite.
For the past several days I have watched in shock as a
wildfire has disseminated hundreds of thousands of acres in and around Yosemite
National Park. Firefighters from all across this country have arrived on the
scene trying to put out the flames that lick across inaccessible terrain along
the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This is no small blaze. I live nearly one-hundred-and-fifty miles
from the blaze and have been breathing in the smoke and dust that have
channeled into our small valley.
It made me think of how fortunate we are to have heroes
around us. Individuals willing to give up their lives for our safety and our
well-being.
Armed Forces – Thank you to all the men and women who serve
our country and protect our borders. I
can sleep at night because you are there, sacrificing your lives for us.
Fireman – Thank you for your efforts to protect our homes,
our livelihoods, and our parks.
Policemen – There have been those few times that I have
received a ticket and I’d be honest in saying you aren’t my most favorite
person. But I thank you for protecting
us, and putting your lives on the line to do so.
Thank you to each and every one of my Heroes!
