Well, I leave for Ottawa on Saturday morning. It's the annual September 11 memorial in the nation's capital. I'm going as a member of my dept. honour guard. I'm the sole piper in the bunch.
Try to take a moment in your busy day to think about the 343 FDNY firefighters who didn't come home on 9-11, and the police and paramedics as well. It's also a time to think about all emergency workers killed in the line of duty.
