I was at a meeting today and one of the ladies has a son who is a firefighter. He is also in the reserves, and shortly after moving to town, buying a house and starting his new job his unit was activated to deploy to Iraq. His wife is a teacher and without the new income of his job and the decrease in his pay, it would have been extremely hard on them financially.
His fellow firefighters took every single one of his shifts during his deployment and his wife continued to receive his paycheck.
There are good people in this world.
