police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and members of the military all get my top respect for what they give to their country. Whether serving locally to keep the peace and ensure safety, rescue people and extinguish fires, provide emergency medicine and transport to a hospital, or defending the country at large in either foreign lands or here at home, they all put their whole lives into helping others. Of course, there are always the "bad eggs" who give their profession a bad name, but the spirit of the job is such that they get my highest level of respect.
There's just something to be said for the professions whose foundation is helping others selflessly, even knowing you could possibly give your life one day in doing so.
