FIRST RESPONDERS
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I am a First Responder. More specifically, I am a Paramedic that works for TLC
Emergency Medical Services, Inc. in Central New York. President Donald J. Trump
has changed the way the world looks at First Responders. He represents many
things to many people, and after all, is that not what we want and expect from our
President? To be a national symbol of the heart of America and a person who sets
an example for all to see? His success in being that kind of President has touched all
First Responders in a very special way.
You see, First Responders have always seemed to be “invisible” until someone
needs help. We swoop in and save a life, protect those in danger and comfort those
in need. Then, we quietly slip away, back into anonymity. We take with us the images,
sounds and emotions of tragedy, pain and suffering every day. If a story appears in
the newspaper about a particular event we are not even mentioned except in the
rarest of cases. We work for less money and benefits that you can imagine and
many of us are uncompensated volunteers. It’s a hard job that requires uncommon
dedication and skill.
Our President has done something for us that no one has ever done before.
Every time he salutes someone in uniform, every time he speaks of the
importance of all First Responders, every time he stands publically
with one of us we all become the recipients of new respect and
recognition – a feeling that we are not accustomed to. This
shift in the public consciousness has lifted our spirits and
emboldened our dedication to duty. Where we were
once unseen actors in the shadows we are now front
and center. Every day someone comes up to us and
says, “Thank you for your service.” This warms our
hearts in a very special way. Frankly, we never
thought this day would come – and it wouldn’t
have if it were not for President Trump.
He continues to stand up for one issue
after another and many others have
become the beneficiaries of his strength,
unswerving dedication and love for our
country. Because of President Trump, we
are renewing our relationship with America
where we had been taking her for granted.
We owe him a great debt of gratitude.
