Life is interesting.  We have all experienced pain and suffering.  I would just like to take a minute to thank those on the front lines helping us deal with our pain and suffering.  

These individuals get a call and are immediately on their way to solve problems.  This was the sight in front of my house a while back. It is a sight everyone dreads. It's the message not just in the picture that I would like to share but also that which could not fit: two fire trucks and a medical helicopter that came to help the neighbor. Sometimes they work miracles and others; they are just fighting an uphill battle.  This was one particular battle that was just too steep despite the heroic efforts.

There are others on the front lines of a different nature, whom I would also like to thank.  Also, they are asked to solve problems.  They are given a lot of equipment to fulfill their task. They serve to protect our freedoms.  They are commanded to inflict pain and suffering. Sometimes they lose a  fight but still win the war.

So a big thank you to those who fight on the front lines in our cities, towns and foreign lands witnessing pain and suffering that I can not comprehend but do so that we can have the freedoms we cherish.  Thank you!
