Thank you to our first responders

As we deal with a world wide pandemic, many Americans have turned on the people out there risking their lives as our first responders. Everyone from our police and firefighters to the medical staff deserve a big thank you from the country.

I feel blessed to live in our small town where when everything goes wrong, they help make it come out alright.

Our family found ourselves in a medical crisis during in the birth of my granddaughter in 2017.

My daughter went into labor at home and it was happening quick.

The police officer and ambulance crew responded rapidly and did an amazing job getting both baby and mother safely on their way to the hospital.

Medical staff went straight to work taking care of both of them.

As my granddaughter approaches her third birthday I am reminded of how on the night she was born so many people came to help and it all turned out wonderful.

We should appreciate the people who try to help our community as a regular part of their lives.

Thank you first responders.
