Boy runs into burning house to save family

2. I've seen those presentations a million times.

And the kids seem to remember them.

Wish they remembered everything as well. Like washing their hands. Ugh.

4. This part really got to me...

"Adonis says he knows that he's a hero. His family told him so.

How does it feel?

"Sad," the boy said."

5. Having Firemen , Police Officers

talk to children in school is a wonderful thing. Get them to respect and understand what these men and women do. Not only is it good citizenship, it does saves lives as this young man has proven. This ones for you young man :hug:
