I just want to say something about the firefighters that were there that day. No one in the world has more courage than New York firefighters. They were ascending the stairs of those buildings as everyone else was running down. That\'s a hero to me. 343 firefighters lost their lives that day. Here\'s a for instance:
An off-duty firefighter saw the planes hit, ran into the nearest firehouse and stole another firefighter\'s turnout gear. He left a note that said, \"If I don\'t make it back, tell my wife and kids that I love them.\" He never did make it back.
Point being: Anyone who is willing to go into a situation knowing that they could die just to save others is the man in my book.
Maybe one of these days we\'ll catch the son of a bitch that was responsible and string him up by his \"nards\".
