Stories like this will make it difficult to get through this day...heartbreaking.

"...It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

I get the feeling that my screen is going to be fuzzy a lot today.

A friend of mine is a forensic psychologist and ten years ago was working for the federal government.

She spent weeks at ground zero doing the best she could using her skills as a psychologist. On the first anniversary of 9/11 she had her first stroke and has numerous health problems since. We feel her medical problems are more than likely because of all the time spent at ground zero.

When I asked her knowing what she knows now would she do it again and without hesitation she said “Absolutely, and so would everyone else.”

That is the spirit of America, we do not hesitate to help others even knowing we may putting our life at risk in doing so. God bless America......and God bless all that have sacrificed their lives......

I’d wager most of those men had no idea how much heroism was inside them when they got out of bed that morning. God bless them and their families.

The duty board remains untouched from that Tuesday a decade ago, six names still scrawled in white chalk next to their assignments.

For some reason, that's the line that tore me up. Wow.
