I have been a career firefighter/paramedic since 1979.  I am the son of a career ARMY soldier who is now retired. For the last three years I have been working supporting the military in Saudi Arabia at Eskan Village Airbase in Riyadh and Forward Operating Base Howz e Madad in Afghanistan. 

I believe it is my duty as an American to show support for the memory of the fallen and to pay tribute to the survivors who have have sacrificed for their families as well.
