A TRIBUTE TO OUR HEROS

By A THANK YOU FROM THE STAFFS OF THE SUN ADVOCATE EMERY COUNTY PROGRESS CITIZENS OF CARBON AND EMERY COUNTIES

We see them in action quite often. Their pictures appear in the newspaper, we see them on the side of the road. Whether it’s responding to a minor fender bender or a major incident, these men and women respond without hesitation, many times without fear for their own lives.
They put the lives of those they are rescuing before their own. When asked why they do what they do, often times the response is “it’s what we were trained to do, “or “I’m just doing my job.”
But what we don’t see is how they are affected by some of the tragedies they respond to. This county has seen some devastating rescue efforts in the last couple of years. Most of the time we don’t see the tears that the rescuers shed over lost lives. We don’t see the anguish on their faces when there isn’t any more they can do to save a life.
This isn’t merely a thank you to follow in line with the yearly acknowledgment of our hometown heroes. We as residents of Emery County are very proud that we have compassionate, fearless, dedicated men and women who help protect us and come to our aid. Whether they are paid employees or
passionate volunteers, they are our heroes.
