Heroes Where have all the heroes gone? They may be just down the block or outside of town. They may be a neighbor or a stranger you meet on the street. When you have a problem who can you call? Not Superman or Batman or any other comic book hero. You call the real-life heroes of today. You call the volunteers of the Fire Departments and Life Squads of America. How many people do you know who would get up in the middle of the night or from the supper table to go save someone they have never met or to save someone else's property from burning up? Not many. I am the son of a Volunteer Firefighter and First Responder so I know that when his tones drop he may have to go on that run and he may not come back but that is a chance our family has to take. So when you see that blue light coming up behind you please remember that one day it might be you they are coming to save so please give them the respect of letting them pass. REMEMBER, ONE DAY IT MIGHT BE YOU.
