They fight battles most of us never see, venturing into infernos where the heat is relentless, and the danger is everywhere. They stand next to other heroes in the dictionaries definition of hard work and selflessness. Their courage often goes unnoticed, hidden behind smoke and ash.

They are wildland firefighters.

As we go about our busy lives, it's essential to remember and honor those who run toward the flames. Help us stand by our wildland firefighters and their families when they need it most.

Last night, while waiting to board our plane, Carter Jean was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.

He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.

This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.

This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.

Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.
Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.
Continue to shine your light in the world.
