They say that “time heals” damn near all emotional pain. I’m not sure about that.<\/p>\n

We are commemorating the 9\/11 attack on our nation today. Twenty-two years ago, Islamic terrorists hijacked jetliners and flew them into the World Trade Center’s towers, into the Pentagon and then — after fighting with the passengers aboard a fourth jetliner — crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pa.<\/p>\n

All the times I have watched the horrendous video of that day, witnessing all the carnage, the panic and chaos and I still well up when I gaze on what happened that day.<\/p>\n

Indeed, it seems to worsen with time, not the reverse.<\/p>\n

The event has spurred me to thank firefighters and police officers when I see them going about their usual day. I have done the same to ambulance drivers, EMTs and paramedics. They all represent a segment of our society that rushed toward<\/em> the danger when it exploded in front of us on 9\/11.<\/p>\n
