I lost my mother last week and when I returned from the funeral I was notified of a death in my other family . Being a Firefighter/EMT you have another family the men and women that you work with . I have never felt like this in any other job . Paramedic Christopher Walsh was killed on 9/4 during combat operations . He was a Navy medic in Iraq . Please join me in prayers for his family and friends . I make it a practice to pray for all the service men and women killed and the ones still in harms way everyday until they return home . Its just different when it hits home . John
John, so sorry to hear of the losses in both of your families. My prayers are with you and the extended families. Jim
I Am So Sorry John, I am so Sorry for your losses, My Son is a Marine and has been over there for three Deployments and I also know about the "OTHER FAMILY" I was a Volunteer Fire Fighter for 8 years until my accident and I know how close you get with the Men and Women that you go into harms way, whether fighting a fire or fighting to save a life it draws you closer then you know, So I understand how the loss of your Friend can hurt almost as bad as a Family member. My Son has always spoken very highly of the Medics over there and how they will risk thier own life to save a fellow Solider they have two missions when they are out on patrol, Be a Solider and also a Medic ,Many a Solider has been saved by these brave Men! God Bless them both and also their Families and also their extended Famlies! My Prayers are with you in this time of sorrow, Don
