First Responders at the Twin Towers--Stuff we should never forget

My husband is a paramedic.  The day the Twin Towers fell, paramedics and EMTs died in those buildings along with the firefighters they were there to support. In the days that followed, dozens or even hundreds more flocked to New York to join in the search and rescue efforts. Some were sent by their employers--not only municipalities but also private companies picked up the tab to send personnel and equipment to the disaster. Many others went on their own time, at their own expense.

What does America have to say to these brave, generous men and women:

9/11 first responders left out of 10th anniversary event


Fortunately not everyone thinks this way.  This man has made a very nice tribute page.  Apparently he is a paramedic himself.  I wish he could get more attention to his page.  More people need to know what our brave paramedics and EMTs did that day.
