911 Tower Lights

[SOUSGT 357]

Last night I drove one of our engines to the Liberty State park for to have it photographed with the tower lights in the background. This was my first year participating although my department has sent vehicles in the past. The site affords an amazing view of the city and the lights emanating from ground zero. While looking at the lights, I had a chance to reflect on the events both of that day and every September 11 since.  The tribute in lights reminds us what and who we lost. Sometimes “we shall never forget” simply is not enough.

 May all of those who were killed on 911 and have died since rest in peace knowing that you are not forgotten and we have picked up the torch and will carry on!  

Also a special thank you to the organizers and volunteers that made this happen. It was well run and a worthwhile endeavor. Not to mention the site chosen afforded an amazing view of the tribute in lights.
