I know how important today is to you. I will share with the blogging world that the reason you became a firefighter is because of 9/11. I think that shows the level of your love of country.
Thank YOU for serving our country, our county, as a firefighter.
Blessings. And wonderful job of adding the pictures.
Well first of all I was very impressed at you using your new picture posting skill to create a 9/11 memorial.
Now I have read what CK said... Thank you myADHDme-Jo. :) That takes character and it takes courage. I have a very high opinion of those who exhibit those qualities. I applaud you. (standing ovation and continuous applause)
(off topic) Hi - Just wanted to thank you for thinking of me. Not to worry, I am in Arlingtion (Dallas/Ft Worth area) not in the path of the hurricane but they say we will have some pretty strong winds and may lose electricity. I am praying for those that are in the area.
Gotta watch out for that bubble game, it is highly addictive. I was so glad when it past my front page so I could forget it was there, although I got pretty good at it. Did you read the comments my daughter left on that post? It's just one of those love/hate relationships with that game. :) Have fun with it!
I used to lead a moms group at Fort Campbell (I was inspired by the baby boom that happened as a result of so many troops deploying!), and the chaplain that I worked with told me when he was over in the "sandbox" (as they all referred to that area), that their water was rationed. I committed then to praying for our troops every morning when I have the privilege of stepping into a hot shower. It is amazing--the things we take for granted are being fought for every day.
I am not the most consistent person you will ever know. I might write my own blogs...I might not. I tend to say too much and then regret it so if I do write, hopefully I'll re-read what I've written and then delete most of it. I Love Jesus.I am trying to reach the point in my life where I remember to "give it to God". Sometimes, I forget that he is in charge and then I try to do it myself. So far the results should be proof enough that I need to let him take over. I'm working on it with help from a few special people.
I am a firefighter and an EMT, and of course I am an adrenalin junkie. I am more focused and work best under stressful situations.
I have 2 kids whom I adore. They are boys ages 12 and 17. They are proof that I don't ALWAYS work best under stressful situations!! But, we'll be fine.
I have tons of respect for our military and our country.
My Blog title is Monkey's Are Funny...ok, they really aren't that funny but that's what my sister and I say when my ADHD kicks in. (long story)
Also, I tend to ramble....
for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of Ridicule and being accused of Association with a bad element..."

"...Upon hearing the firefight in progress, the group of bloggers dropped all personal business, and sent much needed words of encouragement, that led to a regrouping and strengthening of fortifications, which raised the spirits and morale of those afflicted. Their acts were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Blog-O-Sphere and reflect great credit upon themselves and the Blog-O-Sphere in general. Additionally all aforementioned persons are meritoriously advanced to the rank of Chief Petty Officer, in the KW Navy."

What a wonderful blessing you are. I thank you for volunteering to keep me and my family and the community safe. You are an inspiration to us all!
What a blessing to me to learn part of your story here today. Thank you for giving of yourself and being on awesome role model!
Love to you!
It's September 12 here, but we stopped for a moment to remember late last night when it happened our time.
Still brings tears to my eyes to just think about it.
Great post, thanks.

Outstanding collection of memorable photos. Nicely done.
