September 11th 8 years later

I can't believe that it has been 8 years since the 9-11 tragedy. I am going to make it a point to not only remember those who died trying to save lives such as the fireman, policeman and other rescue personnel, but to also remember those who died just going to work. Not to take anything away from the heroes of the horrible day but I think we all lose sight of the innocence that was lost on that day.


Being a fireman or policeman brings with it a risk every day. Each shift beginning brings the chance of it being the last day and to me that takes guts. But what about the insurance salesmen, real estate agents, janitors and other civilians that perished on that day. There were many heroes among them as well. I, as I am sure most of you, knew someone that died in one of the towers. She was not firemen nor a policemen, but a very peppy, outgoing woman who finally landed her dream job...selling real estate in downtown Manhattan.


So today, when you see flags flown half staff, see tributes or hear songs played on the radio in honor of that day, try to remember ALL the victims of 9-11, both civilians and those in uniforms. God Bless the victims, their families, friends and most of all, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
