I'm willing to share small tidbits of me. Who I am. What I experience. Why I do what I do. Just ramdom thoughts from me. Enjoy!
Who?
Name::Random me From::California, United States
I am a wife and mother of two boys. I work full-time in the electronics industry. It took me 6 years to graduate college (no, I'm not embarrassed-I finished, Dammit!) SJSU class of 1990. I love to cook, because I love good food. I'll pass on sweets, but will eat something with garlic or onion in a minute. I HATE cheese, except Mozzerella on pizza-and that has to be combination pizza. I hate chick flicks, but love a good thriller. My husband and I are real estate investors on the side. View my complete profile
Some of you made it out. Others were not so fortunate. I would like to pay respect to the rescue workers on 9/11. Those responsible for saving tens of thousands of lives on that fateful day. The number we always hear about are those that perished that day, but we have to remember how many were saved. Those scared, but courageous emergency workers that drove towards the twin towers, toward the Pentagon, those that ran up the stairs at WTC. We must not forget them. We cant forget those 911 operators that served as unexpected counselors to calm the nerves of many trapped on hijacked planes, at the Pentagon, in the towers, in surrounding buildings. Again, their lives are forever changed by each individual they spoke to that day. The construction workers that worked "the pile", clinging to the hope that perhaps at least one survivor would emmerge.
Some gave with their health-many today still feel the effects of the towers' debris. Some died long after the event due to unresolved health issues from the rubble. Some gave all they had-they gave their very lives in an effort to save others that they didnt even know. Fortunately, many did survive, but I'm sure that day left them scarred for life. Scarred to an extent, that those of us only watching this tragic event from afar can ever even fathom.
On this day, Monday, September 11, 2006, on the fifth anniversary of the worst tragedy to occur on American soil, I dedicate to all of you that reached out to serve your fellow man. Your service to us all will never be forgotten.
