[SS427]

We had a local guy on full arrest yesterday. We performed CPR for at least a half hour and then transported him to Springfield ER. Once there and dripping in sweat I noticed a County Sheriff standing by in the ER and made it a point to go over to him and give him a hand shake and tell him how much (WE) appreciated his services to our community and for putting his life on the line every day. I also apologized to him for all the asswipes in this country who can only seem to find the negatives in what these guys do. Hopefully it helped his day to know that he is appreciated by many.
