To this day when I see firefighters, I start to cry. Can't help it.

To this day I cry whenever I hear the verse of "America, The Beautiful" that goes "O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife. Who more than self the country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine! "

It always makes me think of the firefighters and the people on flight 93 who fought the terrorists and died keeping those monsters from killing even more Americans.

I'm crying again even now.
