Well, you've got them. And your post just reinforces what we all already know -- he's a hero and heroes are obviously raised by great parents. You hang in there and rely on the same faith that got him where he is.

Thank you. Your appreciation of his work makes a big difference! Today I dropped 20 lbs of apples and oranges off at our local FS station for the local handcrew (just back from their day up the hill at the Old fire). I told them that I can't feed my son but I could feed them in his stead. These kids aren't getting enough chow on the line, I'm told (my boy sez todays breakfast and lunch consisted of a balogna sandwich). If you think of it, take something good to eat to your local wildfire fighter today. Their moms & dads will thank you!
