Remembering 9/11

So I did not want to overwhelm my poor facebook friends yesterday with my billion posts on the topic and first responders that day etc. But this is my safe place. The place where I can our my heart out and well I do not care who reads it. If you follow my posts you will see I joined my fire department recently and am in classes for more training. Well yesterday hit me harder then most years. Sure it is a tough day for me normally as I can picture exactly where I was on that day. (th grade history class. How fitting for a historical tragedy. The first attack like this on the interlocking states. ( Pearl Harbor was another huge attack but on the Island of Hawaii) This year all I could think about was the 343 firefighters who gave their all. Literally, gave their lives.


"This picture is a very symbolic one. It shows six firefighters on Ladder 118 coming over the Brooklyn Bridge for their last ride.

These men saw what was in front of them, knew what they were getting into, and they still went. They still went to try to save as many as they could.

All six gentleman on Ladder 118 died that day. This photo represents what the Fire Service is all about, the service and protection of others. .. Trial by Fire" Caption from a picture on facebook I shared. I take no credit for the exact wording. 

I aspire to be the one who runs in while others are running out of the building. 

343 Remembrance  Please feel free to learn more about these heroes with the link.

I know Heavenly Father welcomes them all with open arms.
