Last year I met a candidate who had been trying to become a firefighter for 5 years. Like many other candidates he was stuck somewhere in the process. Shortly after he was offered a job with a great department.
Yesterday I took two of my grandsons to a parade. In the middle of the parade a huge fire rescue rig with lights and siren passed by. Someone called out, “Hey, Captain Bob!” On top of the rig was this proud firefighter, standing tall in his uniform with a big smile. He pointed to his badge, put his hands on his heart, and bowed his head.
Humbling.
Made my day.
