In the next couple of days there will be a lot going on not only in my home but in life in general. Starting in 12 minutes from this second the anniversary of the attacks on our country will start. On September 11th 2001 I was awoken by a very good friend asking me if I Was watching TV. I always hated this because it was around 8-9AM PST and at 4AM I was loading someone in an Ambulance, on September 11th 2001 I was a Fire Fighter. I will never forget it, it was a Tuesday, the first time in history our normal Tuesday meeting at the fire house was canceled. I did not stay in the field much longer after that, I think in fact I quit before the years end. On Wednesday September 12th 2001 I turned 23 years old, yes again The attacks happened the day before my 23rd Birthday, This year that falls on this coming Monday. In my thoughts on Sunday will be not only the 341 Fire Fighters, 2 Paramedics, 23 Police Officers, 37 Port Authority Officers and 8 EMT’s but all the 2,996 people that died that day, half which were never identified as well as the 54,800 Americans that have been killed or injured in the war on terror thus far. That being said I wish no one to wish me a happy birthday but rather wish all those people rest in peace, take a trip to your local Fire House or Police Department and tell them thank you. Do something for your community, do something positive for the reptile community.
