I listen to this clip daily. I know its from a movie but the truth in the message is undeniable in the line of work I do. I been out for 4 months with an injury that will leave me 80% of the man I was the day I slung open a 2 thick door and volunteered to be the first one in the room where death and the unknown lurked. I knew the risks when I put my uniform on and laced my boots that death could be waiting behind that door. And I am at peace with that, if I was scared I wouldnt do what I do. What truly scares me is the lack of support I received from the entire organization. 2 people in 4 moths reached out to me. These two people werent of any rank or representative of the higher organization. Just honest brothers in blue checking on me. We are broken and either we fix the problem or there will come a day when the division causes us to lose someone. I am not asking for sympathy. But when people in an organization I no longer work for, reach out to me more than the people who I do work for, that is a problem. I am always one of the first to resolve a situation nutralize a threat and the last to leave. Its not cause I am a bad ass its cause I want us all to go home how we came in. TOGETHER! Our team is broken and it needs to be addressed from the top down. God bless my fellow brothers and god speed. But just know that at the end of the day no one really cares how you are or if you need any support. At this point I feel alone after I battled side by side and paid a heavy toll only to be forgotten by the very people who claim to be my brothers and sisters. We need to find a way to claw our way back and retake what should be ours. Cause apperantly we are expendable.
