Remembering those lost on 9/11, 2001

Even though I was 15 and a halfway across the country, this was a defining moment in my life. I grew up 5 minutes away from the Pentagon as well which struck an extra large nerve. While I didn't lose anyone close to me, and I wasn't there, I still remember the rage and pain I felt. It was the first time in my life I felt like I needed to do something. This event is the biggest reason I entered the world of emergency responding. I still remember that feeling I had that day and it stays with me and keeps things in perspective for me.

Never forget the people, the responders, the countless heroes, and that burning feeling deep in your being you felt that day.
