Today's picture is a tribute and thanks to the real hero's in our society. Not the movie stars, or the great singers, or the sports stars or batman, superman or the incredable hulk.... A huge thanks to the firemen both volunteer and paid and to EMTs. They are there in the middle of a sunny day and in the sleet and snow of a dark night. Several of my relatives offer theirselves to others on a daily basis. I say thanks and have deep gratitude towards them. They do what so many of us take for granted. This picture is a memorial to fallen heroes at the Greenwood Cemetary in New Orleans. As we were passing by I grabbed a hurried snapshot thinking of my relatives. Visit http://www.outskirtsofsuburbia.blogspot.com/ and see many great pictures dedicated to firefighters and their equipment and you'll also enjoy many great pics of local wildlife. Thank you to my relatives - you know who you are.... Much appreciation!

ReplyDeleteWe all need to remember that being a hero is risking your life for others, not because your handsome or get a big salary. Real heroes are the salt of the earth.
