Long Island Hero’s

I saw these two nurses outside our local hospital taking a break. They said they received 8 new COVID patients this morning. It was only 11:00am. They lost 3 yesterday. These men and women on the front lines of this war really are heroes.

Anyone that purposely runs into a burning building to make a living is a hero in my book. This wonderful Firefighters memorial stands not far from the Egg in Albany NY. What a great way to remember what these men and women do for us each and every day.

“Fallen Fireman”

Rest now my fallen brother
Lay soft your suffering back
Rest well and forever
Your memory shall not lack
Rest your tired hands
Wipe clean your weary brow
Rest with St. Florian
Your spirit now endowed
Rest here your breaking heart
We know you gave your all
Rest easy, you’ve done your part
You’ve answered your last call
Rest knowing that in god we sought
Oh lord, watch over another who just fell
Rest assured your troubled thought
As we ring the final bell.
