WE WILL NOT FORGET OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ON THIS DAY OF MOURNING. THEY GAVE AND ARE STILL GIVING THEIR ALL FOR US.

There was no “I don’t want to go” “I’m too tired” “too sick” “too old” …! The people needed… called.
They went! In uniform or out, they went! They rescued those they could and continued to try even though all hope was finally lost.
They gave their lives during the attack on our country.
I speak all of the time about our military and their sacrifices. I don’t say much about the guys and gals I worked with in the criminal justice system… Most/many people do not care for cops.
I did and still DO. Oh, I know that some are bad apples… wish there weren’t but the honesty in me says cops are human too.
Bad apples or not, they gave their lives that day in September. Fire personnel did the same. There are not many civilians who were willing to go into battle in the city that day but many did.
The dispatchers did fantastic job of keeping track of theirs. Dispatchers did not/could not see the extent of the damage… the injuries… They did not know if their family members and friends who worked in the area had survived. They stayed and did their jobs.
I am so proud to be a member of that dedicated group. I mourn their loss.

To all of mine, rest, be at peace… shift is over. To those who survive, my deepest and sincerest respect… Love you all… Paula Rice (Disp ret.)
