    Tyson,

    Thank you for posting these photos today, keeping the spirit of all Firefighters fresh in our minds, and reminding us to be grateful to you. I for one am most grateful. 9/11 is a reminder of how the country was able to be united and forge forward together - led by those who gave their lives on that day.

    Liz

    As one who lives north of 49, I still remember the horror and the feelings of sorrow I felt for people on that awful day. My thoughts are with all south of the border as they live through the anniversary of that day.

    Here, here. I'm sitting in the same spot as when I heard the news that morning. I guess being free to go to work and (hopefully) contributing to the free market economy is maybe a way to honor everyone involved, if you think about it.

    Re: 9/11 For my brothers

    Almost starting a new thread for this but decided to add it here.
    The History Channel had a show today called, "The Day the Towers Fell".
    The story was of the event as expeienced, witnessed, and photographed by photograpers. The images were awful but so poignant in the story they told that the words were not enough for.
    We can't all be firefighters,(Thankgod for Tyson and those like him) but lets not forget that we all play a role in this life, even photographers.
    I strongly recommend seeing the show if you have the opportunity.
    Keep Shooting!

    A personal "Thanks" Tyson for getting out and fighting everyday for people like me. Tell your partners thanks as well.
    I am like Barney Fife, I have a gun but Andy makes me keep the bullet in my pocket..
