And The Winner Is...
ME!!!!!
Tonight I was recognized as my Fire Department's Firefighter Of The Year.
It was surprising, and it was humbling. I have won this award two years in a row, three times (total) in the last seven years. Why? I don't do anything special or different. I just try to do my job to the best of my ability. My colleagues (both paid and Volunteer) voted for me, and for that, I cannot express how truly grateful I am that they thought that much of me. Without the people of my department, there is no way I would be where I am today, and there would be no way I could win this award, so in effect, this award is for you. Thank you. Thanks to all who put their lives on the line every day for me. You know you can expect the same from me. Thanks for sacrificing your time, your sweat and your energy, to help make our community safer. I am humbled to even be considered for such an honor, but even more so to be recognized.
Thank You All So Much!
