As an American, I may not be legally bound to assist during a disaster, but I am bound by honour.

The firefighters who entered the Twin Towers after the planes had struck on September 11, were not forced to enter.

They entered because it was their duty and hope to save as many as possible.

These heroic men were firefighters by choice, and died trying to help others.

Many Americans could not live with themselves if they ran away in a time of great need.


If a time of great need arises, it is my hope that I can live up to the example set by the heroes who have gone before me, regardless of the cost.

Actually I do think firefighters ha the obligation to help.
If he/she refused to do so, it should be a dereliction of duty.
