The
other day, I pulled up next to a Fire Engine at a freeway exit.
My four-year-old son, Jonathan, smiled and waved at the men
inside, and all four men joyfully waved back. With thoughts
of Tuesday's tragedy fresh in my mind, in which hundreds of
firemen were killed trying to rescue people in New York, and
countless others continue to work around the clock, with a catch
in my throat I turned to my son and said, "Those are true
heroes, Jonathan. They save people's lives."
I
would like to dedicate this site to all of those heroines
and heroes out there who have joined together as one to do
what they could to help in the wake of the terrorist attacks
on New York City and Washington, D.C., from volunteering in
person, to giving blood and funding to the Red Cross, to simply
sharing their prayers for the families who have lost or are
missing loved ones. God Bless America and God Bless You. --
