Default Heros

This is about a nieghbor and brother of friend. Two young firefighters 20,21 ran into a burning building yesterday after being told there were people still in there, this was located in delaware county,Pa, when entering the building that was fully involved the second floor collapsed on them they were trapped, but the one was rescued by his older brother who is also a firefighter withen miniutes the other was rescued after 15 min. they are both in critical condition in Crozer Chester burn center. They were burned over 50% of there body and have inhalation burns. I thought I would write about this because it is another lifestyle of trucking, and it shows that no matter how bad it seems it could always be worse. MY prayers are with Dan and Chase and I hope they make a speedy recovery and get back to what they love!!!

there are heros in our lives that we take for granted. be they police, firemen, ambulance workers, and now coal miners....

we look at some of those jobs and think that they are easy jobs, or something we would have liked to do ourselves.

sad fact though, no matter what job, there is always some sort of danger, even if to the lowly factory worker we may dismiss as an important part of our economy.

no job is without some dangers.......

but we do tend to take for granted other peoples jobs over ours.............

Glad you posted that George D, I don't have many problems with job or family, thank God, but the minor little things I do have going on pale in comparison to something like what those 2 brave men are going through right now, all to save someone else, I might remember what I went through, after I recovered and the call came again, I bet these guys won't though, I bet they will do it all over again, kind of puts things in perspective.
