The events of 2017 that are detailed in this book opened my eyes to the unparalleled and often overlooked heroism of first responders. Every day they perform acts of bravery and life-changing efforts during the most traumatic moments in people’s lives. People like John and Victoria, EMTs from Acadian Ambulance of Louisiana, who miraculously took control of a potentially life-ending scenario and saved the life of not just one person, but that of a whole family. My family. Infinite thanks to all of the heroes who put themselves in the middle of traumas, catastrophes, and live-threatening situations to save others! We are all blessed by your service to mankind.
