I have been sitting here thinking about what happened, and how it has affected me. the number 343 is a number that has a lot of meaning for me now. 343 was the number of firefighters who lost their lives that day 5 years ago. There have been books printed, movies filmed and money made from that fateful day, and I'm not sure how i feel about that. there was a documentary that was being filmed about a probe on FDNY and he responded. The film crew was there for him, but got a lot of it on film. i still can't watch that movie. i want to, but its just a bit too much for me, even today.eventually i will watch it. There is an attempt as making today national firefighters day from what i have been reading on the net. i hope it will become that. i think about the WTC and the firefighters often, and i hope, even though i know what will happen... this will become commercialized, book and movie sales pumped up because of the date. is any of the profits from these sales going to help victim families, fallen police officers or firefighters? or is it going just for the greed of the producers and book agents? you never know.
well, enough of my rambling, just please, take a moment to remember the fallen. that is all i am asking.
