Remembering 9/11


 Air Evac Lifeteam 121 - Beckley, W Va.
 
On this evening, 17 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00am on Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment, life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

And please say a special prayer for those protecting your freedom, home and abroad, and those responders selflessly serving the public every day.

9/11. Never forget.
