Yes, what a sad and tragic day that was - so many brave and selfless NYFD and NYPD men and woman needlessly lost their lives - my step-dad was a fireman and my son wants to join.
I was in NYC only a week or so before the attack and I remember taking photographs of a NYFD fire engine in downtown NY, responding to an emergency, complete with some of the crew clinging to the side - I've still got the photo and when the subject of 911 comes up I always think of that photo and how many of those men must have lost their lives only a matter of days later.
