May is the month we recognize the great efforts of our First Responders. To all the Brothers who are, or were, members of Police, Fire or Emergency Medical organizations, we thank you for your service to our communities. We also appreciate all the men and women who are not members of the Fraternity for their unselfish dedication and commitment of time.
The many in the blue
We protect you from the fires
And from those who would harm you
We heal with a helping hand
And respond to all who call
We are the first responders
The ones who see it all
You ask us to protect you
And you call when you’re in need
You get mad if we’re a minute late
To a crime we cant forsee
You run quickly from the fire
We run toward the burning flames
You take the drugs to harm yourself
Still we treat you just the same
We see a fear that’s in your eyes
Yet we stand straight and true
We are the first responders
And we do this all for you
