This past week I had the opportunity to attend the Nebraska Volunteer Firefighters breakfast in Lincoln.  It was a pleasure to talk with firefighters and auxiliary members from around the state, esp Joel Cerny of Linwood and Jim Egger of David City.  This morning was a weather challenged morning and I appreciate everyone that traveled to Lincoln for the breakfast.

Saturday evening was the 82nd annual banquet of the Schuyler Volunteer Fire Department.  The banquet recognizes and honors those firefighters, EMS and auxiliary members that serve the Schuyler community.  I am always amazed at the dedication and commitment our volunteers have towards their communities and encourage anyone who is considering joining their ranks to please do so as you will make a difference.  Pictured are Jim Horn of Schuyler, myself, Parrish Abel of Gering and Joel Cerny of Linwood.  Thank you for all you do.

Saturday morning was Nebraska’s Walk for Life at the Capital.  I was in attendance with over a thousand pro-life supporters that braved the cold morning to come together and walk in support of life.  It was heartwarming to see so many from across the state gather for the 45th consecutive year in support of life.
