I don't honestly know what makes the reaction so quick. I don't know if it is the word or just the idea that a life depends on it. MASS CASUALTY all hands report to the hospital. There is nothing more dreaded and feared than the words Mass Casualty. In my experience stress levels are raised, tempers are flairing but at the same time people that need help are getting taken care of. It is what I like to call "controlled chaos", if there is such a thing. From the outside it looks like a big mess, but take a look at it closer. It is a choreography of people getting the job done. Litter teams doing a "grab and go" getting the patient off the helo (helicopter). Triage docs doing their 30 second assessments to place the patient in the proper place of treatment.
All have a job, and all do it like clock work. Get um in, get um treated, get um out.
It is amazing that even though something so catastrophic has happened things can work so well. I am a part of that and I am still amazed at it. It is an honor to do what I do on a daily basis. I am thankful for these opportunities I have of making a difference in someone else's life. Something I have always wanted to do. I get moved every time I think about where that motivation came from.
Johnny, he is in my heart and in my thoughts. I am thankful that he was in my life, otherwise I wouldn't have been inspired to do what I do. He showed me that it is a great thing to make a difference in some else's life. He did this by making a difference in my life. I hope that one day I can be an example to another, in the way he has been to me.

Dearest B, I don't have the words to say to express what your kind words mean. We will never forget Johnny and the kindness and example he set. He experienced more in 21 years than some experience in a lifetime and he made a difference, just like you are making a difference and giving back. I love you Brian.
Merry Christmas.

Hey Bro,
It sounds like all that hard work and even the rough times here in the states are paying off. I know exactly what you mean about Johnny and you're right, but as far as the last part of your statement, you are making that impact right now. I know you know I look up to you and even through the hard and confused.. and stupid times :) in both our lives you've been there. Hopefully I have and can still provide that same support whenevr you need it as well. So, instead of trying to make all the money I can like I first set out to do, I really want to follow your influence and affect others' lives. So, just know that you are setting that example every day... for me. Love you Bri.
