A colleague from Canada pointed me to this site.  Haven’t checked all of it out yet.  Let me know what you think.  http://www.goodbyeaurevoir.com/

This morning, after I dropped my three year old son off at preschool, Glenn Beck had on the radio a montage of clips from September 11, 2001. I’m glad it didn’t get to the part with the radio traffic from the firefighters until I got into my driveway. I sat in my car for 15 minutes or so just trying to compose myself. All the confusion, fear, and anger came rushing back. Then I got to thinking, that could be me. What in the world are the families left behind going through.

If you know an emergency responder’s family, give them a call today, a visit, or a hug. They will probably need it.

Found this on FireFighter Nation and wanted to share it:

Once you’ve loved a firefighter… you love all firefighters. I remember hardly noticing those fire trucks as they raced pass me. Now I see them on every corner. Not too long ago, I was unaffected by news stories involving firefighter rescues.. now I am riveted by them. It is so easy to detach yourself when it is not your loved one on TV. But if you have loved ones in the fire service, it becomes personal. It is so hard to watch that blaze on your local news channel, knowing your loved one is out there in it.

There’s more
