I had to take a day to gather myself. I am sure you have all heard about this, but I needed a friendly place to get some shoulder space.

I didn't know any of them personally but I know why they went back in. If there is even a small chance to save someone you just do it and pray you make it home.
I hope to just send a few extra vibes to there families and friends.
Mike

God Bess Them ALL.
When I'm called to duty God
wherever flames may rage
give me strength to save a life
whatever be its age
Help me to embrace a little child
before it is too late
or save an older person from
the horror of that fate
Enable me to be alert
to hear the weakest shout
and quickly and efficiently
to put the fire out
I want to fill my calling and
to give the best in me
to guard my neighbor and
protect his property
And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife

Each and everyone of them is a hero...may they rest in peace
I'll never forget the footage of the World Trade Center when everyone was running away from the building and the Firefighters were running right into it. That's got to be the most courageous thing I've ever seen.

Yes, Mike, I've been following the news on it. It's tragic. So many good men who were all well-trained and experts at their jobs. God Bless them, and God bless you for doing the same job.
Stay safe, my friend.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
