I am guilty of taking you for granted. I, like most people am also guilty of the next two things. My first thought is "oh, that will never happen to me" and my second is "well, if it were to happen then there is someone (like you) to fix it." I could not begin to imagine what it feels like every single day to leave your family at home and run into a house that is burning down to save a family like mine. You matter-and you make such a traumatic difference each and every single day. Thank You for risking your life to save lives like mine, and my children. Dear Firefighter,

You work so hard everyday just to save others. You are one of the most selfless people in the world. How can we ever thank you enough for doing a job that most of us do not have the guts for, or at least, a job that I do not have the guts for. Each day you come to work you come focused and ready. How many of us can say that of ourselves? Not many, I'll tell you that. Bottom line: I am really proud that there are such amazing people in our world! Thank you a ton, xoxoxoxoxoxo Hi Firefighter,

You guys are amazing! You face what a lot of people fear without a thought for yourselves. California firefighters saved my college campus from being burned to the ground! Not only that, but you guys (and gals) are on the scenes of accidents, helping people trapped in vehicles and putting out vehicle fires. Thank-you SO much for what you do. Praying for you guys always!
