Hi Val-
I loved this–in light of some issues going on between the City and the Firefighters & their pensions, there has been A LOT of talk about FF’s in our local newspaper lately…and of course, A LOT of negative, rude, completely ignorant comments made about how FF’s are “overpaid” and “lazy” and “have it easy.” It makes my blood boil to read comments like that from people who have no idea what it is like to be a FF or be married to one. This poem shows it perfectly.
I hope you don’t mind if I copy and paste this into a post on my blog (and I will, of course, link it to your blog & give you credit for originally posting it). If it’s a problem, please let me know and I will remove it right away!
Hugs,
Sarah
Post away baby!

I’ll definitely come over to the blog and comment. Just let me know when the post is up
Amen to all of that!
Welcome Brian, thanks for stopping by. I’ll look forward to delving into your blog.

Considering how many firefighters and police live in poverty wages around the country, I still don’t get how people can ever think that. Of course they think all our guys are priceless when they have to dial 911. Some people need a … I just won’t even finish that one
lol
