It's all about?

With the upcoming 10th anniversary of September 11th, I have been thinking a lot about the firefighters and police officers and regular joes that lost their lives that day. What really got me to thinking about how brave those men and women were, is while at work today our fire alarm went off. I only had to climb up one floor to go outside, and rounding the corner I thought, "Could you imagine doing this up 96 floors carrying 100 extra pounds on your back?" What's more is could you do it knowing you may never come down, and having that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach about someone you might not be able to save? And the life in question wasn't their own, but a nameless, faceless person they just knew needed help? Could you really sacrifice yourself? As ashamed as I am to admit this, I would probably have to say no. But yet they did, fearlessly, and with determination. Please remember these folks this month and their families as the world looks back and reflects on that day. To the men and women who serve our communities across the land, I tip my hat to you all!
