Thank you for your service,Sir. Prayers for your healing. I have PTSD and the battle is real.

Notice how he talks about it now that he’s retired? First responder employers are terrible to people with PTSD, in fact, they are a major cause and contributing factor to it. You wouldn’t dare see him talking like this if he had 10 years to go until his retirement.

What a wonderfully heroic and brave man. He can be greatly admired for speaking out and helping others who are feeling the same.

This mans story needs to be shared with every first responder. It helps, it really does.

Ptsd is terrifying. It cuts your emotions off. And it makes life a horror story. God bless you. Healing to all.

Thank you for sharing your brave story. I know it will help other firefighters and their families to better understand what they go through. Thank you for every time you responded to the call that no one should have to witness. I hope you are more at peace every day. There was sadly nothing you could have done for the boys that night. We are all lovingly cared for from the moment of any crisis by unseen, loving hands. May God bless you for your service, and may he bring you real peace to help shield you from what you've seen. 🙏

Firefighters should get more recognition, because they throw themselves in dangerous situations so that you can get to safety. A thank you card, or just hangout with them while they’re aren’t working. Just anything to help their state of mind

God bless you! Thank you from a fellow firefighter.

Thank you to all fire fighters and first responders. My neighbor is a firefighter and he had to take some time off work. Hearing stories are one thing but actually being there is a lot more. So much doesn't make the news.
