HOLD THE LINE ~ A Tribute to Doctors, Nurses, and Caregivers
During these several weeks, I couldn’t help but be moved by the doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, first responders who have been pushing their own limits and who have taken the charge in an effort to hold the line in response to this global pandemic.
