Reminder of The Real Heroes of America
Once again we are reminded of who America’s true heroes are. Steve Rucker, a fireman from the Novato Fire Protection District in Northern California traveled to San Diego to help fight the wildfires raging there – and paid the ultimate price.
Steve leaves behind his 35-year-old wife, Catherine, their daughter Kerstin, 8, and their 3-year-old son, Wesley.
To hell with sports figures and actors. America’s true heroes are its Firemen, Police, and the Armed Services. Steve paid the ultimate price to protect his fellow Americans and stands as a shining example of true heroism.
That’s cold-comfort to his friends and family, I know. Residents of Julian should erect a statue in his honor and make sure his family is taken care of for the rest of their lives.
