We must also remember those from NYPD and the Port Authority personnel too.

That tribute to the FDNY 343 brought tears to my eyes. We as Americans can never forget the bravery and sacrifice ALL those firefighters, police, Port Authority, and EMT's made that day. Without them, thousands more would have perished. They are all in my thoughts today.
