Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 12, 2011 at 9:06am: GOOD MONDAY MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!

Missed you yesterday but being married to a firefighter - yesterday was a very emotional day as you can imagine. Watching tv shows covering that day, not easy to see your husband in tears as he feel the pain of loosing 343 brothers on that day. We even went out to watch the Bengals game at a local sports bar and it brought tears to our eyes when on the TV for the Bengals/Browns game, the whole restaurant went dead silent when taps was played on the screen. A flag that covered the whole field was held up by players, coaches, firefighters, police and members of all branches of the miltary. That day we lost patriots. 2,977 and 343 that went running in to help others without regards for themselves. And, even knowing what they know now - they would do it all over again even if they knew they would not make it out alive. To save one single soul in the place of their own - they would do it. They do it everyday, 24/7, 365 days a year. On foreign soil, our military protects us. At home, your local firefighters and police protect us. Please remember - our first line of defence at your very front door is those that live to protect us - your local firefighters and police.

On weather channel for Chicago it shows 71 high and 50's for low! definitely packing a sweater! Considering it is still in 100's during the day here, 71 sounds wonderful.
