Fallen Heros

I wanted to speak with you all about the fallen fire fighters that we all lost yesterday. My heart aches for their families because they risk their lives for all of us everyday and usually we take if for granted.

I hope that everyone learns from this event. Stop and say hi to your neighbor, read another story to your children and do something wonderful for someone even if they don't know that you did anything at all.

Charleston is filled with such wonderful people and their hearts are so large. We can become a great city with no shame we just need to want it and do the right thing.

We are measured by how we have helped and cared for others.
It is these selfless acts that really speak to who we are.

These fire fighters have done so much for us. They have saved our lives, kept us safe and cared for our children.
Please, Please show them that you care. Chief Thomas, Charleston Fire Fighters and their families need our support now. We all can make a difference in someones lives.

I'm also thankful that Chief Thomas spoke so well for us all while faced with what could only be described as the deepest of personal grief. He to us and for us with courage and sincere humility. Amen.
