Your assumption is correct, I have not forgotten what I felt and what we lost on september 11, 2001. We all swore we would never forget, but sadly most have! I have not forgotten. Everytime I suit up to go to whatever emergency I do it in honor of the 343 that did it first for everyone else ,everyday, without any glory, just the satisfaction of getting the job done. The 48 hours after the 11th, was unforgettabe for me. iw as in a bunker in central Mass. in full gear. Waiting, watching, listening.....I must have checked every piece of equipment 10000 times. every time my "bunker" phone rang I leaped....I never slept. I had the arduaous job of forcing my guys NOT to head for N.Y.. I wanted to go also, but we had our orders.
I haven't forgotten, too many people already have, but I made a promise and I intend to keep that promise in action, heart, and spirit.
