As I am sure all of you are aware, today is the 7th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. While everyone talks about all the heroes (policemen, firefighters and EMTS), let’s not forget all the people who died doing what they do every day. The people who were at work in the towers. The people who had to go there just for the day. The people who were on the planes just going about their business. I have the utmost respect for all emergency personnel and thank them for the job they did on that dreadful day. But it seems that we sometimes forget that that a lot of people died that day in jobs that normally bring no danger or risk of losing ones life.
I knew one of the victims in the World Trade Center. I remember all she wanted to do was work in real estate in Manhattan. Who knew that when she finally got her dream job, it would ultimately lead to her death?
So, to Margaret, all the police, firemen, EMTs and all the other innocent victims, God bless you, your family and your friends. And most of all, God bless the USA. Shall we never forget 9/11.
