Brotherhood and Battles: Mark Goldfelder on First Responder Stress and Support

I care about anybody who puts a uniform on and gets in and does the job, and I know how bad I struggled and felt that I had to suffer in silence, and I don't want anybody else to have to feel that way, and if I can do something about it, I'm going to do it absolutely.
Ever wondered what keeps our first responders going despite the immense stress they face daily?
