To all the heroes of 9/11
"I could only thank him with my eyes."
~ Franciszek Gajowniczek (describing the"Saint of Auschwitz")
To the 343, all the members of the FDNY & NYPD... & all the heroes of 9/11;
Thank you.
I think of you often, not just on 9/11.
I see you in uniform. I see you on the roads. I see you on call. I see you running towards danger when the self-preservation instinct is screaming to run away.
I see you.
I see members of the 343.
You were fathers, sons, brothers, husbands, uncles.
You were heroes.
You say what Maximilian Kolbe said:
Take me instead.
Thank you & may God bless you and your families.
