HONORING AMERICAN HEROES
As all of America remembers and mourns the horrific events of September 11, 2001, on this day, the 9th anniversary, it is fitting that we remember all those who died that day, and the families they left behind. (PICTURE TO LEFT TAKEN FROM THIS SITE)
There were about 3,ooo victims, including working people, innocent people, 72 police officers, and 343 firefighters of the FDNY, who gave their lives to save the lives of others, without any regard for themselves. They did it because that is what they do. They save lives and protect property.Being a firefighter isn't just a job or a career. It is a true calling. Those who accept that calling know that at any given time they might be faced with such a tragedy, as 9/11 was, that they might not return to their families or the job they love. I know a bit about this because I've been married to a dedicated firefighter, and the Chief, for almost 32 years. All those connected to the fire service feel the deep pain and loss of these brave men.
Last year my husband and I had the privilege to visit ground zero and the FDNY Firefighter MemoriaL Wall where each and every name of all 343 firefighters is forever engraved for all to see. It truly touched our souls.
These courageous firefighters (aged 22 to 63 years) deserve our honor, respect, remembrance, and gratitude, for their selfless dedication to mankind, and they should be remembered by name (A complete list with pictures of the firefighters can be seen by clicking here.):
