Remembrance
Watching "In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11/01" once again on HBO last evening, my memories and emotions from that day came flooding back. I cried, I remembered, and I honored those who died that day. This morning, I quickly stopped by the memorial that was built near me in Eastlake. It was even more special as I visited the memorial with my brother, a police officer in a neighboring city, while he was on his break. While the entire loss of life that day was inexplicably tragic....I hold a special place in my heart for the officers, paramedics and firefighters who rushed toward the attack to help others.

And now, on with my Saturday. I'm off to hike in the metropark...then I'll enjoy dinner and drinks with friends this evening. God Bless America.
