The time is almost here...maybe a moment of "silence" for all of those lost on September 11th 2001...and those that have died since as a result of their unselfish duty to help that day...

May God rest their souls...

“On this day... 18 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.”

Today we remember. We remember the victims, their families, and the heroes. We remember the way the country came together and stood as one.
I will always remember visiting the first responders in New York less than a month later. I was there to help pump them up after their tragic, non-stop work. But they were the ones who inspired me.
They were exhausted and they were in mourning, but they just kept going because they were serving a cause bigger than themselves.
At Ground Zero, I saw them working through tears and hugged more heroes than I could count. At the three firehouses I visited, they just wanted me to work out and eat with them.
And let me tell you: firefighters can cook. I ate one meal after another because I didn’t want to be rude, and when you have a chance to eat with your heroes, you never say no.
I left that day with a stomach so full I was about to pop. But I also left with a full heart, because I saw the best of America.
We must continue to honor the victims, we must hold up and thank the police, paramedics and firefighters for their heroism, and we must never forget. Never.

Two Florida students from Bartow High's Medical and Fire Academy climbed 110 flights of stairs to honor the lives lost on 9/11. While resting between flights, Samuel Martin and Devin Turner recited the names of the 343 New York City firefighters killed in the World Trade Center STORY: https://bit.ly/34AMARA
