September 11th is entrenched in deep tragedy and remorse, and will forever remind America that we live in a world of uncertainty. Beyond that though, if you look underneath the surface, you will find courage and strength, and reminders that anyone can become a hero in an instance.

Two of the photos attached are of a standard issue fire engine that was pulled from the remains of the 16 acre site. If it were not for the window outlines that define it as a fire truck, I would not have know it was even one of the first responder units to the site. What came of the heroic men and women who road this rescue vehicle is an immediate thought when I look at the photo.

The other photo is from one of the many temporary memorials that sprung up throughout lower Manhattan in the days after 9/11. Many people on the walls here were never found and my heart goes out to the families.
