I used to be the "ground" version of these people & I know how hard they work! I know how difficult their jobs, lives & even sleep can be! Each person you are able to help save is such a thrill but one loss haunts you the rest of your life. . . This show depicting their lives reminds me of how much I miss doing what I loved. . .at least I can now watch vicariously. MAY GOD BLESS EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!!! HEROES, ALL!!!!!
