REMEMBERING OUR FALLEN BROTHERS
AS A RESULT OF THE TERRIBLE ACTS OF TERRORISM, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 WILL STAND AS ONE OF THE DARKEST DAYS IN THIS GREAT NATION OF OURS HISTORY. IRONICALLY IF YOU CONVERT THAT INFAMOUS DAY INTO NUMERICAL FORM THE FIRST THREE NUMBERS ARE ( 9-1-1 ). THESE THREE DIGITS WHICH WE HAVE THE FORTUNE OF DIALING TO SUMMONS HELP IN AN EMERGENCY. PLACING INTO ACTION THE BEST EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD. WEATHER OUR CRIES FOR HELP ARE FOR POLICE, FIRE OR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, THESE AGENCIES BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN RESPOND WITHOUT ANY FORM OF HESITATION IN OUR TIME OF NEED. A GREAT DEAL OF THE TIMES NOT KNOWING WHAT SITUATION AND DANGER THEY ARE ABOUT TO FACE, AS MANY OF AMERICA'S HEROES DID THAT ILL-FATED TUESDAY MORNING, THEY RESPONDED TO THEIR LAST CALL. THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTHWEST RANCHES VOLUNTEER FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT SALUTE AND HONOR OUR FALLEN COLLEAGUES. WHO UNSELFISHLY GAVE THEIR LIVES TO SAVE OTHERS, AS THEY'VE DONE SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE VICTIMS, THEIR FAMILIES AND TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE FAMILIES WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AS A RESULT OF THESE ATTACKS ON OUR GREAT LAND. MAY OUR NATION'S BRAVEST BE CONTINUOUSLY BLESSED, AND THE SOULS OF THESE HEROES REST IN PEACE? GOD BLESS THEM AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
