First Thank you.
I am a Paramedic. I did my ride along for my Paramedic education with NY EMS in 1996. I knew several of the responders that died that day. All I could think was I NEEDED to get there. So many people wanted to help they were turning us away.
I had gotten home from my 24hr shift and went to sleep. Got a call to turn on my TV, to watch the second plane strike. Was thinking "hey this is a cool trailer for a movie" Slowly realizing this was actually happening. Spent the entire day watching the events unfold thinking " Who did this?" Everyday even now I think everytime people go why are we still fighting in the middle east looking for everyone of these "extremists", and I say "Do you remeber, Do you care, Are you that fickle?" I WILL NEVER FORGET. If I was young enough to go myself I would. "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE" You have to fight for it, protect it, from inside and outside. We have are problems in the USA, but it still the best place to be.
To all those risking all to protect that freedom, My thanks, My prayers, My support.
