This past Winter, as The Bride and I walked about our place, we found an old homemade clothes line post along the side fence line. At the time we both were dealing with, in our own ways, the death of my Mom. As we looked at it I personally felt comforted. I cannot put into words why this was, and is, so.
I thought of this photo when I read the headline “For Now, We Mourn” about the Firefighters who died in Arizona’s wildfire. Though all loss of life is not to be taken lightly, I am at heart a six-year-old kid who wants to become a Firefighter, so this some how felt personal. So in that spirit, this for all the loved ones of the Firefighters who lost their lives in the wildfire in Arizona. May you find Peace and always remember those you loved were and are hero’s. Just ask any six-year-old.
The U.S.A.F has a motto for their Firefighters that I feel fits those who died in service of you and me, past and present, and that is: “The Desire to Serve, The Ability to Perform, and the Courage to Act”

They were heroes all and their heartrending sacrifice will not be forgotten.
I humbly agree.
This is an unspeakable tragedy. They are true heroes in every sense of the word. We can’t forget their sacrifice and the ones made by firefighters every day.
They are one of the few who truly define what a true public servant is.
