A friend of mine sent this to me, and I thought I would share it with you, along with a question. I know this isn't a real MUMM, but that should never matter given the content here.
"My father IS a fireman, he drove a big RED truck,
And when he'd go to work each night, he'd say, "Mother wish me luck".
Then Dad would not come home again, 'til sometime the next day,
But the thing that bothered me most, was the things some folks would say.
A fireman's life is easy, he eats and sleeps and plays,
And sometimes he don't fight a fire for days and days and days.
When I first heard these comments, I was too young to understand
Cause I knew, when people had trouble Dad was there to lend a hand.
Then my father went to work one day and kissed us all good-bye,
But little did we realize, that night, we all would cry.
My father gave his life that night, when the floor gave way below,
And I wondered why he'd risk his life, for someone he didn't know.
But now I realize, the greatest gift a man could give,
Is to lay his life upon the line, so that someone else may live.
So as we go from day to day, and we pray to God above,
Say a prayer for your local fireman, he may save the one you love.
If u know a firefighter, or are a firefighter yourself, repost this with the title "Local Fireman"."
My question to you is:
Do you support your local fire/rescue/EMS/law enforcement by thanking them, donating to the volunteer departments, and giving them the right-of-way when they're responding to an emergency?
Or do you disrespect them, gripe about "how slow they are" when people like you don't pull over and let them go by, call them "ambulance drivers" (most disrespectful term EVER), etc?
