There are so many heroes in our nation. People who show up every day to serve, to protect, to lend a hand, and sometimes, quite literally, to catch us when we fall.
Here is to DeKalb County Fire Rescue Captain Scott Stroup, who stood ready as a desperate father, desperate to save his little girl from a burning building, dropped her into his waiting arms.
In that extraordinary moment, we see the courage, compassion, and commitment of our firefighters. People willing to run toward danger, put themselves at risk, and make the difference between tragedy and triumph.
May we honor these everyday heroes. May we never take their service or sacrifice for granted.
