That police officer that you called a jerk for writing you a ticket, just spent three hours on the scene of a wreck where a drunk driver killed a family of four.

Those firefighters that you are pissed at for shutting down the road, just pulled a grandfather out of a burning house.

Those paramedics and EMT's that you think are driving too fast, are doing CPR on a two year old that will not make it.

They work sick, hungry, and tired. They are continuously asked to do more with less, and they do it with a smile on their face.

Why do they do this? Because they love what they do, but most importantly because they care.

Think about that before you bash your public safety members. They are here for you.
