WE DAY IN AND DAY OUT IN EMERGENCY SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC, BUT I MUST SAY WE HAVE FOR MY 23 YEARS OF SERVICE BEEN VERY SPOILED. THOUGH WE HANDLE TRUE LIFE AND DEATH SITUATIONS, AND THOUGH IT CAN BE VERY STRESSFUL AT TIMES, NONE OF US HERE CAN BEGIN TO IMAGINE THE GUT WRETCHING FEELINGS NEW YORK CITY 1ST RESPONDERS ENDURED DURING THAT DAY'S ATTACK ON AMERICAN FREEDOM. THEY CERTAINLY PICKED THEIR TARGET TO BE REPRESENTATIVE OF "OUR AMERICA." WE HERE CAN ONLY EXPRESS THAT "THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I." MY POINT IS IT COULD HAPPEN HERE, BUT IT HAPPENED THERE AND OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU AND YOURS. BONNIE - BONNIE FLOWERS Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:00:58 +0100
