The Firemen Of 9/11

Sometimes I think about the firemen who saved the lives of many people on 9/11/01 and the days that followed.  343 firefighters lost their lives rescuing people at the Twin Towers of New York City.  Among that number were paramedics.  In addition, 72 police officers also lost their lives.  An interesting part to consider is this:  many, perhaps all, knew that that there was a good chance that they would lose their lives as they entered the burning buildings.  Some who saw the faces of those firefighters as they entered read some serious messages on those faces.  The faces declared:  "you may never see me alive again."   Some of those men were right.  This is what you call courage.  This is  dedication to a responsibility.   Their dedication is remembered and very much appreciated.
