I recently had a patient who was a friend I had to transport to an ER. He passed away a few days later but had the chance to say good bye to his wife, children, and other family. He wouldn't have had that without the efforts of me and my EMS partner. He told me he would pay me back after he got out of the hospital. I knew his illness was serious but never thought he wouldn't make it home. I had to take a hard look at my chosen profession. In the end, I realized I am exactly where I need to be. Helping those who may never be able to repay me.
What about you? How do you define "service to others" and what does it mean to you?

To me it's reaching down and lifting someone whom may be less fortunate. With no expectation of anything in return. I enjoy creating joy for others, sharing with them often brings an illuminating smile which is priceless.

I'm in the PGR, Legion Riders, Vet Peer Group Counseling and most of the other organized groups. Since I'm retired, it's my way of helping my brothers and sisters or their family in any way I can. Thank you for helping those you can, using your skills.

SGM Bill Frazer - The PGR is doing some amazing things all across the Nation. The nearest chapter is a bit far for me to be a member. The local VFW has a riders group I may try to join in the Spring.

Placing the needs of another above your own with no thought or intention of ever receiving any sort of reward or payment. Doesn't have to be anything epic, either. Can be as simple as donating blood, volunteering at a food bank, visiting residents in the old folks' home, etc.

SGT Matthew S. - No arguments here. Sometimes the simplest actions can have the most profound effect.
