Nineteen Heroes….
News July 1st, 2013The news of the Arizona tragedy is heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those lost in the fast moving wild fire near Yarnell, Arizona.
The Prescott, Arizona Granite Mountain Hotshots were part of our community for a couple of weeks during the Thompson Ridge Fire. They were customers of mine. They represented themselves very well. They were nice people. They are trained well to fight wild fires, to protect life and property. They are also trained well to be respectful of the communities of which they become a part. They are courteous, polite and well spoken. This is the way they all are….all of them. We had the privilege of having over a thousand of these heroes among us for over a month. We were lucky to have them.
Nineteen heroes. Here one day….gone the next. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
