First Responders

Spider-Manhttps://www.pexels.com/photo/person-in-spiderman-costume-3381013/When we think of the word hero, we usually think of Superman, Iron Man, Captain America, etc. While that's fine, more than ever we need to recognize the true heroes of our society: our first responders, doctors and nurses. We're living in turbulent scary times, with lots of despair since the pandemic started.

While most Americans stay at home because of stay-at-home orders, nurses are working tirelessly around the clock and we need to be grateful for what they do.

They deserve our utmost respect and we need to advocate that they get the support and respect that they deserve and need. It is outrageous that many of them don't have the support and PPE that they require, and despite all of that they're there every day working to care for patients.
