Six timezones away, day is light and a little bit showery. Dawn at New York soon?
Just gave my wife the flowers, gift and kisses for her birthday. But it will never be the same from now on. A former volunteer firefighter, now transferred to the Honours Platoon because of old age, I never can forget the 343 companions of FDNY killed in action, especially on this day.
I also remember the companions at arms killed in the Pentagon. The medico who saved my life 20 years ago could have been among them; luckily he was transferred before the attack.
Oh for the children born on this day! How can you happily celebrate on a day of national mourning?
My best wishes are with you; many happy returns!
