That's a lot of precious lives. Thank heavens for those who give up so much ~ sometimes everything ~ to protect others. This is a beautiful tribute.

ReplyDeletetragically taken on this day eleven years ago.
A somber day in NY today.....and many many places around our world...
ReplyDeleteSo sad to see these names of those who are no more....I thought of it all today at around 2:30 or so my time.
