Two volunteer fire fighters lost their lives in battle today in a community near where I grew up.
I am the daughter of a man that started as a prison guard and became a police officer; he also served as a volunteer fire fighter. I am the ex of an Airman, the current of a Combat Soldier, and the friend to many in all uniforms.
My heart goes out to the families of these fallen, but also to all the wives and other loved ones who are comforted, yet still feeling guilty that they get to hold their fire fighter in their arms tonight, safe and sound. My heart goes out to those same people, who will wait with the heart a little higher in their throats the next few times the call goes out, until their loved one comes once more safe through the door.
Blessed be
