Although I officially became a US citizen 3 years ago, I believe in my heart that I in fact became a citizen 13 years ago whilst watching the days events unfold.
Early this morning driving past my local fire station, 4 firefighters, alone outside the station, were standing to attention whilst one of them was reading from a list of I expect, all the names of firefighters and emergency response members lost that day.
I just about lost it as I drove by.
