Campaign: Firefighter Letters

Over 1.5 million fires where started this year. Some very newsworthy, including the South Idaho, California, New Mexico and Nevada wildfires. And with the rainy season beginning mudslides will begin to occur in some of the fire areas as the terrain as been altered. Our firefighters will again support and rescue people and their animals.
Write a note of gratitude to an anonymous firefighter and their family. We will take your posted note and hand-write it out on a “You Matter to Me” postcard and send it to the fire stations most impacted by this year’s fires.

I would never be able to find words that could even come close to saying “Thank You” to all the firemen and firewomen who have risked their lives while fighting the forest fires. My heart goes out to the families of these courageous people and thanks them also for their own sacrifices during these times.
May God Bless you all and keep you all safe and well.
Thank you very much

Thank you for all that you do.
In a society that often does not recognize the hard work and dedication of it’s citizens, that takes advantage of, ignores, or expects the assistance of a profession of people that put their lives on the line everyday for the safety and security of a community, and of a nation…I just wanted to say thank. For your heart, your compassion, and every small miracle you perform each and every day. Thank you.
Know that there are those that recognize you, be safe,
Ashley

Thank you for your bravery, committment and dedication. You matter!
Assisting our neighbors is something that we should all do. We could learn a lesson from you and your co-workers that everybody matters. If we all followed your example, and took even a minute of our time to help another, the impact would be incredible. Thanks to your selflessness and hard work, lives are saved. Thank you for being who you are. And thank you for saving the lives of many. God Bless you and your families. You truely are a superhero.
Thank you for all your hard work, commitment, and dedication. It takes a special person to put your life on the line for total strangers.
Thank you so much for all that you do! Thank you for dedicating your precious time for others and for putting your life on the line daily for people that you don’t even know.
Too many times, people take what you do for granted and I just wanted to take this opportunity to give you the credit that you truly deserve. It takes a brave, unselfish person to do the job that you do!
