Thank goodness for the first responders. Many of them indeed are volunteers and do this as a service to their fellow Americans. My father was a volunteer fireman after he retired. We should all say a prayer to keep them safe.

I also noticed that the 'Thank-you' campaign is sponsored by Verizon. That is commendable.

Now we just need Verizon, just as the first responders do, to keep us all safe by promising NOT TO DEPLOY and to COMPLETELY ELIMINATE the EXTREMELY harmful and deadly 5G technology.

Awesome true story.
Carlos, what a man of men.
I think Dabo has a lot to do with the culture that has impacted and values instilled in Carlos.
Touching story.

Remember when it happened. So proud of Carlos to persevere threw everything and fight back when he could have just quit. There was concern with him being able to come back and he experienced some set backs from what I recall.
