Debby, I'm sorry if I'm a downer.... But I'd like to ask a favor of the group...
Please take a moment of silence and think about those who we lost 19 years ago. I was fortunate in that I got all my guys back whole, but I lost a lot of friends. On Aug 28th I was at the bar having a great time with the first fire rescue squad who perished in the south tower.
Sorry to be such a downer....
Not a downer at all Bob, it was appropriate to bring it up.
I think the day does need to be marked and the people that were lost remembered. Some were up close and personal when everything went to hell and others were far away, but it had (and continues to have) an impact. Hard to believe it was 19 years ago.
