Continuing to serve: First responder agencies show appreciation for veteran members
For military veterans who now serve their communities, it's safe to say they have a special calling
By Rachel Engel
As the nation celebrates Veterans Day, fire departments and EMS agencies across the country are using social media to elevate their veteran members and show their appreciation for their willingness to serve not only their community, but their country, as well.
Happy Veterans Day to all who served, and a special thanks to those who continue to serve at home.
We thank all that have and are serving our great country, especially our own members representing BCFR overseas. Pictured is Firefighter Luis Delgado from Station 82 on a recent deployment.
