As Americans, we know we all have a duty to our country. For first responders, that duty carries on to their neighbors, as well. First responders are people who run toward a crisis rather than away from it. Their list of job titles is extensive, but the term generally refers to paramedics, firefighters, EMTs, and rescuers. They are the people showing up for you in your worst hour with the goal of guiding you through it to a better tomorrow. It is incredibly important to remember our first responders every day; you never know when you'll be the one needing them.
The Thin Red Line
Like police officers have the Thin Blue Line, the Thin Red Line is a symbolic tribute to firefighters and other first responders. It acts as a reminder to remember them each and every day, and not take their sacrifices for granted. They show up fast when you need them to, regardless of what they're missing in their own families and day-to-day lives. First responders drop everything to show up.
They're people just like everyone else. They are your neighbors, your family members, your friends, and they share a community with you. Since first responders are everyday people, it can be hard to remember to thank them when you can. But keep in mind that they could be out doing any other job in the world. Instead, they've chosen to dedicate their lives to protecting others. That makes them anything but ordinary and 100% deserving of thanks.
At Flags of Valor, we may be a veteran-run company, but we love and support our brothers and sisters who stand on the Thin Red Line. We created our wooden Thin Red Line flag as a tribute to fallen firefighters and other first responders. It's the reminder we need to remember and thank them for the job they're doing day in and day out, protecting our communities and keeping our families safe.
