Back The Badge (#BackTheBadge)

Wow, guys! It's been a while since I've actually posted something worth reading.
I think we can all agree that our Military deserves our support.  Those guys and girls are doing so much for us. But while they are constantly in our prayers, we tend to neglect those who are in our own cities; those who wear blue uniforms and keep our streets safe. Our law-enforcement--Police, FBI, Fire-fighters, and medics. These guys deserve our full respect and gratitude as well.

Radio stations in my local area have recently stepped up and are participating in a thing to show our local law-enforcement and first responders how much we appreciate them. (The hashtag #BackTheBadge has been used to promote it.) People are calling in with stories of how their local law-enforcement officers and first responders have helped them in one way or another over the years.
These guys keep us and our families safe. They're there to help us out, and they do it in so many ways. And we so often repay them by fearing them, disrespecting them, getting annoyed with them...killing them.

There have been so many stories on the news lately of our officers who are simply doing their usual jobs--especially just on patrol--and have been shot simply for getting out of their vehicle.
These guys--especially our police-- know that they could lose their lives at any given time. And the know that they are hated by many. But they still put on that jacket, that badge, and those boots and tenaciously walk out their doors every morning.
Not sure about you, but I think they deserve our respect and our thanks.
Facebook, Twitter, etc use #BackTheBadge to show your support.
Thanks for reading!
