thanks, I think today felt more like a celebration than a mouring ceremony. Everything is based towards looking forward, rising above and rebuilding.
I still have brig mates calling me to talk about it. What they saw that day will never be earsed from their memories. I don't think people realise just how deeply ingrained our need to HELP and PROTECT is with emergency service workers. That we KNEW people were dying and we couldn't do a damn thing about it has almost killed some of the ones who were there.
