Yesterday, I visited with some friends for a little 4th of July cookout. Just before sundown, I got a chance to see something neat.
My friends live along the route firefighters used as they headed out to fight the remnants of the Waldo Canyon fire. Numerous residents along the route held up posters with encouraging messages. Others applauded, waved and offered "thank yous".
The folks in the firefighting vehicles and staff trucks appreciated the attention and heartfelt encouragement. Virtually all of them waved back, and some passed on a few words about their progress fighting the fire.
To see people sacrifice & put themselves at risk for their fellow man is encouraging. Maybe there is hope for the future of mankind, after all.
