Our Nation's Everyday Heros

Knoxville's Everyday Heroes (Reposted from February 2011)

In my travels around
town this past week, I found myself in the same parking lot or next to the same
parking space as some of Knoxville's heroes, the police force and fire
department.

 After taking photos of their vehicles,
much to the surprise of one of my neighbors (Emily), I began thinking about how
fortunate we are in the United States to have these fine people who put their
lives at risk each day in order to serve us.

 After the great tragedy of 911, the
fire departments and police force of America was given high praise and honors
greatly deserved. And although we have not forgotten the sacrifices of these
great men and women, sometimes we do take for granted the awesome service these
two organizations give to us each and every day.

 In appreciation of both the Police Force and Fire Department
of Knoxville ,I am linking to the history of each. I also am very grateful to
all those who serve in the Police Force and Fire Departments across our nation.
We are blessed by you for your service.
