I as a veteran have learned the true importance of my service as a Marine,and my service as a police officer.
And I thank every veteran I see. The country has rebouned as our GREAT country always does. Im more proud than ever to be an American.

Being devistated by the news and how it hurt me as an american. My wife and I are police officers and we wanted our baby to be born On 911 because of that. My wife told me the news and I turned on the radio and cried.My fiance and I both lost alot of brothers (Police officers,and fireman) that day. The meaning of my baby being born took a whole new turn when the attacks happen. My Fiance' went into labor at10 A.M that morning.And All I can remember is being hurt and trying to be happy for the Joy I was to experience later that day. Im a U.S Marine veteran of operation deny flight in Bosnia and I was mad that someone invaded My Home turf. My Baby girl will always be a part of history and I cant imagine having lost a loved one that day, instead I gained my lifes most precious achievement.

I was doing housework at afriends house. I was scheduled to got to the hospital with my fiance' that morning. My Baby was due 3 days before.
