                                            Today, on First Responder Day, I want to express my sincere gratitude and admiration for the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting our communities.
Since 2004, I've had the distinct honor of working alongside and supporting first responders. Witnessing their unwavering commitment and selflessness firsthand has been truly inspiring.
The work you do on the front lines is nothing short of extraordinary. I also want to acknowledge the critical importance of health and wellness for our first responders. It's encouraging to see the increased focus and support being provided at high levels within the government to ensure you have the resources you need to stay healthy, both physically and mentally.
Thank you for your courage, your dedication, and your unwavering service. We are deeply grateful.
