[ColdNoMore]

I totally agree that recognition of all the good LEO's... is absolutely warranted.

They perform a needed and hazardous job...often with not enough recognition.

While we're on that subject though, let's not also forget to appreciate all of those others who have hazardous jobs...that make/made our lives better.

So this thread is for all of those retiree's here in The Villages, that worked in dangerous occupations...and made it safely to retirement here in TV.

My hat is off to you.


Most Dangerous Jobs In America (click here)

Here are the 25 most dangerous jobs in America...IN ORDER of danger:


1- Logging workers- Those that provide the wood for our homes, businesses and so many other things.
2- Fishers and related fishing workers- I love my fish/crab/lobster, so my hats off to these folks too.
3- Aircraft pilots and flight engineers- Kinda self-explanatory.
4- Roofers- A group that we see every day here in TV and which I want no part of...especially in the middle of summer.
5- Refuse and recyclable material collectors- Can't imagine what we would do, without these people.
6- Driver/sales workers and truck drivers- Since most of our "stuff" comes by truck...
