As a nation, we Americans idolize our professional athletes, musicians, and actors.
But, as California, Oregon, and Washington burn, the real heroes of our nation are the selfless volunteers and professionals who fight these fires to the point of exhaustion.
We can never thank you enough. God speed!

Don’t give up on this year. Keep fighting for the good. Keep showing up. Keep loving. Keep giving back. Keep being kind. Keep being brave. Keep caring. Keep trying new things. Keep showing grace. Keep on. The world needs you to believe in the good.
