Thank you for the 9-11 front page

We mourn the ones we lost.However we also remember the brave heroes who saved others.
I may have mentioned it before (if I did,I apologize,but it bears repeating) My older brother was one of the firemen who rescued someone from the WTC just as it was about to collapse. For this,he will forever be considered a hero in my eyes!

Thanks for letting us know about your brother. I'm also a big admirer of firefighters and the dangerous, brave (and often thankless) job they have to do.

My brother is still alive (thank God!) And yeah...I agree about a firefighting job being all the things you said.

Ah ok, I wasn't sure. Yes Thank God. I did know someone who went back to help people, he unfortunately wasn't so fortunate. He wasn't a firefighter, he was just a regular guy who wanted to try and help people if he could. He was always a great guy and an inspiration and I miss him.

I'm sorry about your friend.Sounds like he had a big heart.

Wow...you must be really proud of your brother, Kathy, and I'm sorry about your friend.
You know, the world is full of ordinary people who want to do good things for others, but we often don't hear about them - instead, it seems we're always hearing about the smaller number of people who cause terror and strife, or those who think the world revolves around them.

Very true, and it creates a distorted image. We think the world is just full of misery and bad behaving people. But the reality is there is both good and bad everywhere. It can be hard not to get recognition for the good we do. Though, someone once said, we do good because it is good, not because it will get anywhere.

Wow, your brother sure is a true hero, Kathy!

Heralde, I'm so sorry about your friend. He was a true hero as well.

And yes, the 9-11 front page was very classy, and a wonderful tribute! Thank you, mods!

Yep Tony..he's a hero. (at least to me & others) He was interviewed not long ago & he said he didn't want to be called a hero.Don't know why though.shrugging shoulders
