As we are reminded every Memorial Day, we should be thankful to those who protect our country.
But this year in particular, we should also remember those protecting us from an insidious enemy while wearing a different uniform scrubs.
Medical personnel, including housekeeping staff, nurses, doctors, and many others, exposed themselves to a very dangerous enemy, COVID-19, to save our lives.
At least 3,600 of them lost their lives while doing that, nearly as many as U.S. military deaths in Iraq from 2003 to 2020.
Many now suffer from PTSD, and many have other significant mental health issues, because they fought for us.

Zircons are the oldest minerals in the world and come in colors like the rich blue above. Researchers have now used these gemstones to identify when modern plate tectonics began. (Ken Larsen)
Zircon minerals are the oldest-known Earth material. Some formed even before the planet s crust became the rigid continental plates that move according to modern plate tectonics.
New research on ancient zircons suggests that Earth’s modern plate tectonics likely formed around 3.6 billion years ago. The paper, published in the journal Geochemical Perspective Letters, reveals how one of Earth’s defining geologic features likely formed and set the stage for the emergence of life.

ST. LOUIS, May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Marshall Excelsior Company ( MEC ), a Harbour Group company, has acquired certain assets of Ken Larsen, Inc., which does business as Hurricane Products ( Hurricane ), Jeff Fox, Harbour Group s chairman and chief executive officer, announced today. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Hurricane, based in Valencia, California, is a leading manufacturer of regulators primarily sold to the RV and camping equipment markets.
Mr. Fox commented, We think Hurricane is an excellent addition to MEC and will enhance our access into additional end markets. MEC has been focused on expanding its regulator offerings and Hurricane represents a great opportunity for us to do so.
There were two reasons for this, according to Larsen and Deitche.
One was that some future criminals and law enforcement officers â both typically of Italian or Cuban descent â grew up together and their families were friends for generations in a city that still had a small town feel, Larsen said. They then remained friends even when on opposite sides of the law.
âThey protected their own,â Larsen said. âGuys like that didnât go to jail, except maybe overnight.â
More prevalent, Deitche said, was that some law enforcement officers and elected officials were on the mafiaâs payroll.
âPolitical corruption in Tampa went a long way in keeping those guys above the law,â Deitche said.
