Blessed to be able to have a conversation with a man who has made it his life mission to be there for our first responder community. John 15:13, " Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends". The Lt. Col. said something that I will never forget. he said " The greatest act of love isn't to sacrifice your life for your friends, but to live a life of sacrifice " . Thank you to all my brothers and sister across this great land that are living a life of sacrifice.
