Fallen Firefighters

Zayne got to be included in a great honor today; however, it is not an honor you wish to have. This past weekend two firefighters died in the line of duty, they went into a house to make sure no one was trapped and they weren't able to get out. Neither one of us knew either of the guys, one was a captain and one was a rookie; however, it really effected us emotionally. Today was the memorial and thanks to the departments in our surrounding areas Zayne was able to march with the rest of the Houston Firefighters. I wore my firefighter jewelry in honor today and even Kamryn wore her HFD t-shirt to school. Any time something happens to a firefighter I just can't help but think it could be Zayne one day. I want to take this time to thank all of the firefighters, police officers and military who risk their lives in order to make sure the rest of us are safe. I don't think they always get the recognition that they deserve. I would also like to ask everyone to keep the families of Captain James Harlow and Damion Hobbs in their prayers.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about the fallen firefighters.

We too think of Zayne every time we hear of a fire in Houston.

We do need to honor our fireman, police, and military personnel for a job well done in protecting us.

Love,
