As the time grows ever nearer, my thoughts like those of my fellow firefighters must go out to the families of the 343 lost nearly 10 years ago.

Would we do the same if it happened here, would we now hesitate knowing what could happen and what we could loose. I think the answer is known the us that do this job, we would go in and maybe its not about the thousands that died on that day.

It about the tens of thousands that were saved by men and women willing to take a risk to help people they don't know and would never see again.

They paid the ultimate price and so many stand around the world tonight saying 'sleep tight for I am watching over your family as they sleep'
