George Strait paid tribute to first responders with his music video of ‘The Weight of The Badge.’ The video showcases interviews with several first responders and what the badge means to them.
At the New York State Police Academy, a few officers raise the US flag and give it a proper salute. The police chief talks about the difficulties of being on the job.
He tears up as he mentions the impact their work has on their families and themselves. George Strait starts to sing with his fantastic voice, but he’s not the star of the song.
Some firefighters were seen at their station as well. All of them are always on duty and always alert. Helicopter pilots stand ready next to their helicopters, and they are prepared to help at a moment’s notice.
A wife of a police officer understands the dangers of her husband’s job. When she says goodbye to him, she knows to hold on for a few more seconds before letting go.
One officer mentioned that even when he heads home and the badge is off, his heart is still heavy from a long day’s work. There is a lot of sacrifice from all the first responders.
During an interview with a firefighter, his pager signals him to be summoned for duty. So he leaves to answer the call for help. Every single one of them is an optimist and hero.
