I expect you have volunteered your time, talents and resources to help the most vulnerable people including the grieving wisdoms, widows, and orphans; those with highly contagious diseases, the homeless by eviction, natural or man-made disaster, and the severely depressed and suicidal Steven.
I pray that you and I are demonstrate our love for God by treating each person we interact with respect and demonstrate selfless love and sacrifice of our desires to help meet other’s needs, my brother-in-Christ 1SG Steven Imerman.
I lift the EMT personnel, fire departments firemen, local and state police, sheriff, emergency room and ICU medical staff, throughout this nation as well as the nations of India, Philippines, Australia, and Europe. I pray for protection from communicable disease, infection and intentional harm to each one of these first responders and their family members.
I pray that an increasing number of parents, grandparents, aunt and uncles speak respectfully of police, sheriff and federal agents, military units, and medical doctors and nurses especially in front of the teenage and younger children.
LORD I lift each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to YOU. I thank YOU sanctifying us and spiritually maturing us. I pray that we honor crisis pregnancy center personnel and all others who respectfully stand up for the preborn human beings
I pray that YOUR light cleanses us of impurity and YOUR love shines brightly through each of us as we demonstrate honor and respect to each first responder.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Red Friday” Morning @mikel from the now sunny skies of Fort Myers where the current temp is 69° but headed up to 90° plus today... Yikes! Thank the Lord for “First Responder Day!” Why Not?
I witnessed my first first responder when I was a lad of 9, when a Greyhound bus collided head on with a car and the car was mangled, the bus upside down off the road... There were three firemen tending to a bloody man and holding the oxygen mask to his face was my Dad... - Kerry F. Harkins, March 27, 2020
1) "Real heroes don’t wear capes. Real superheroes wear uniforms and badges and stethoscopes! ~Dean Cain, 2018
2) "I've always seen first responders as unsung heroes and very special people because, when everyone else is running away from danger, they run into it. Dwayne Johnson
3) "Every day, first responders put their own lives on the line to ensure our safety. The least we can do is make sure they have the tools to protect and serve their communities. Joe Lieberman
4) "The men and women who serve this great nation, whether they are stationed in Iraq, Fort Riley, or the Korean Peninsula, or they serve us at home as our community first responders, serve because they believe in America. Kathleen Sebelius

PO2 David Dunlap - My Dad was a firefighter in the Navy aboard an aircraft carrier in WWII and when He got out became a city firefighter in Massachusetts... He was always the first one in and became part of what was called the "Squad A", a first responder Squad... My quote above was something I witnessed him doing first hand...

It most definitely is RED Friday COL Mikel J. Burroughs , I hope you and your family have a magnificent day.
On Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of first responders heroically rushed to the scene and saved tens of thousands of lives. More than 400 of those first responders did not make it out alive. In rushing into those burning buildings, not one of them asked, 'What God do you pray to?' What beliefs do you hold?'
Michael Bloomberg
I've always seen first responders as unsung heroes and very special people because, when everyone else is running away from danger, they run into it.
Dwayne Johnson
What I've noticed is not only in the military, but in the first responders community, that when you reach out your hand to help one of them, they almost always grab your hand with only one of theirs, because they're using their other hand to reach behind them and pull up somebody else with them.
