1 Year Later.....
Midnight has passed in NYC...it is now 9/11 again.
This was the actual thread from 9/11 - 9/14 of 2001. One year ago, the people on this board.....this FAMILY...went through Hell together. I am bringing this thread forward as a reminder of the confusion, anger, and suffering we went through as a nation on those first few days.
I, like many, have watched probably too many specials on the 9/11 disasters. It was amazing to me how watching grown men cry...firefighters, police officers......big tough men just break down and lose all hope brought back all those feelings.
Many of you know my father is a County Sherriff, and also volunteers on the local Fire Department and Ambulance crews. I can't tell you how many times he left to a call when I was young, and I wasn't afraid because something inside me told me he would always come home.
Tonight I am saddened thinking of the families that never had the chance to see their loved ones to the same that day....
God rest their souls.......Please take a moment on 9/11 and remember what is really important in life. Not Disney, or little squabbles between our family members here. But your loved ones, and being safe. I consider all of these people here a part of my family, and I know many consider me the same.
Take an extra moment today to tell the people you care how much you love and care about them.
Thank you everyone.
Brad
