Your son is a bonafide hero! How does that feel?

Scary! This is my little boy who was terrified of the log ride at Knott's Berry Farm. Now he rappels out of helicopters into Hell for a living. His mother is nearly catatonic for about 6 months a year and I find myself spending all my free time on the FS fire & aviation website when he's on duty. I think I managed to talk him out of being a smokejumper but he loves this very dangerous and heroic profession. Families of Fire Fighters are also in need of America's prayers, as I well know!
