Police, Fire, EMS FREE Portrait

Jay and I, had been racking our brains trying to think of a way to help during the wake of the tragedy in Newtown and then it hit us! One of things we noticed looking back in our own lives especially being first responders (yep Jay and I, have been EMTs for the past 10 years both in a volunteer and paid capacity) was that we never really had any nice pictures of us together and having put together memorial slideshows we really have noticed that it is so often that families have become so busy that pictures just go to the wayside.
So, with the help of the Bethel Fire Department we will be holding an event where all first responders can come with there families and have a professional photo taken of them completely free of charge. No gimmicks, no nothing, come in and get a digital portrait with the ones that mean the most to you.
Anyways, since I can't be on the ambulance right now because of the baby, this is what we thought we could do to help and give back to those that mean so much to us and do so much for others!

Help support our troops

So as I'm sure some of you know I HIGHLY support our troops.

Being a son of a Vietnam Veteran and grandson to a WWII Veteran, the services these troops provide us with is Freedom and they way of life we live, if it was not for them we may of never of had a blog to write or many of the other things we do each and every day. So I thank all the troops all around the world past, present, and future. God Bless You All.
