Firefighters Raising A Flag After 9/11

Thanks To The Fire Fighters Who Run In When Everyone Else Is Running Out

I can’t believe it’s been 11 years. It seems like just yesterday that I watched as the second plane flew into the Twin Tower. We normally didn’t watch television in the morning, but for whatever reason, my wife turned on the television as she was feeding our young daughter.

We were in shock as we watched the plane fly into the tower. We tried to go about our lives as if it didn’t affect us, but we couldn’t. Everywhere we went, people were crying as they were glued to their televisions. I remember going to church and listening to a sermon about whether the world was coming to an end.

It turns out it wasn’t. Eleven years have passed since that dreadful day in American history. For most Americans, life is back to normal.

But for thousands of victims, military members, police officers, and fire fighters, life will never be normal again.

Today, I am thankful for the men and women that lay their life on the line day after day so I can continue to live my normal life. Members of the military, police, and fire, thank you for all that you do to help keep me and my family safe. Thank you for not allowing the world as we know it to come to an end.
