HAIL FIRST RESPONDERS…

I have to hand it to all our First Responders who daily are putting their lives on the line for all of us – And they do it in spite of the actions of those ignorant/selfish “freedom fighters” taking to the streets in defiance of the social-distancing precautions under the guise of their freedoms being stripped from them. What they in their ignorance don’t get is how virulent this virus is, how easily it spreads in airborne particles, and that they are putting not just themselves at risk, but their loved ones and others whom they pass by, and especially those in the ranks of First Responders who are risking their lives daily for all of us. Our First Responders are truly Angels doing a job in the trenches at great risk to themselves, and it will be these same people who will step forward if these “freedom fighters” contract Coronavirus and end up in their ICUs – And mind you, they will do it without asking about your politics, what your view of the president is, or if you were the ones blocking traffic with their AR-15s the week before – First Responders will take care of you with all the skill and knowledge at their fingertips, and will move heaven and earth to save their sorry asses…! (That’s my commentary, not that of First Responders!) THANK YOU FIRST RESPONDERS, FOR YOUR SKILLS, YOUR CHARACTER, AND YOUR HEARTS – WE LOVE YOU…!

About journeysofabentmind

Gordon is a Nisei, a second generation American of Japanese descent born in 1938 whose family owned a farm outside of Atwater, California in the San Joaquin Valley. His world was abruptly changed when on December 7, 1941 Japan’s Imperial Navy launched an early morning attack on Pearl Harbor. Thus began a chain of events that resulted in his family’s forced evacuation and internment in a “relocation center” in Colorado during the war. After the war Gordon spent his teenage years in school and working on the family farm. He attended U.C. Berkeley and graduated in 1960 and went on to the Graduate School of Social Welfare at Berkeley earning a Masters in Social Welfare in 1963. He worked in a number of social service settings and last worked as a case manager for developmentally challenged clients in San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin Counties until he retired in 2000. When his wife Barbara retired in 2007 they moved to Eugene, Oregon following their children and grandchildren. Gordon lives with his wife of 55 years and close to the four grandchildren and life is just good.
