2nd Annual Tribute to First Responders in Orlando

Last night there was a fantastic tribute to First Responders at First Baptist Orlando Church. Ed and Mary Ganster, founders if OperationSafety91, pulled in a wonderful group of speakers and performers. Moving songs by Lt. Connie Baldwin of the Orlando Police Department, who sang God Bless America. She has such a beautiful voice, she should be on America's Got Talent. Gina Marie Incandela, the little girl with autism famous for her singing at the Magic game, once again sang The Star Spangled Banner. She left all of us speechless with her beautiful voice, especially knowing her story. Eric Horner sang Footsteps of a Hero and Proud to be an American.

Police officers, firefighters, emergency responders, veterans, active military, you name it. If they serve this country, they were represented last night.

I was asked to do a video for this event and was so humbled to be sitting next to true heroes. Below is the video I did, Honor Them.

That's something we just don't seem to do enough. We see them everyday, count on them all the time when we are in need. After then emergency is over, after the fire is out, after we send them off to war and after they come home, we never really think about them again until we need them again. The rest of us just get on with our lives. Tributes like this need to happen more often so they know how much we really do appreciate what they do for all of us. They risk their lives for us everyday willingly and to have an event like this for them was something we all did joyfully.

I wanted to make sure you knew about this event because the media, well, they didn't cover it and they missed a great opportunity to shine a light on our heroes.
