Saturday is the 9^th anniversary of the first attacks on US soil since Pearl Harbor.  The images and stories from that day and the days that followed are burned into our brains.  But in the nine years since the attacks, we have other images that finish out the story.  These images are of patriotic Americans stepping up to “protect and serve.”  They serve in the armed forces, the police, and in fire and rescue.  They scan our luggage (which we don’t always appreciate) and work anonymously behind the scenes to locate and track threats.  September 11^th changed forever the level of risk involved in being on the police force or being a firefighter.  In gratitude to ALL who serve we offer this video.
