Final Alarm

9-11-2001

In loving memory of my brothers and sisters with the Fire Department of New York City. Your acts of heroism will be beacons for those of us who still jump and run at the sound of the bells. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

NYC Firefighters As most of us stopped, to see the fire in the sky, you were in the trucks, passing us by. As the unthinkable horror, makes us shed a tear, you entered the building, in your rescue gear. As we sat in panic, praying for no more you were climbing stairs, floor by floor. We sat confused, awed, and in strife you were looking, hoping, and praying for life. As the building came down, we feared you would too. But God gave you wings, and instead you flew.
