9/11 poem (I posted this since tomorrow is the anniversary)
I know this is a wedding forum and I have been sitting here questioning whether I should post this or not but I felt very strongly that I needed to post this today. I apologize in advance if anyone feels this is inappropriate. I hope this doesn't cause any ill feelings for anyone here, only hope. This is not just for the firefighters and cops but for EVERYONE.

your helping hands and huge hearts,

the heartaches, the heroic acts you do,
and the honor you bring to our country.

you for help, and for the encouragement you

your quick response for help and rescue,
for reassuring, recovering, and returning
without the promise of a personal reward.

all you do for others, overcoming fears,
your occupation of helping and saving,
your obvious dedication and bravery,
and your outstanding commitment to bettering
our world.

each time you endanger your life to help,
exceeding expectations and going the extra
mile, for the hardships you endure in your
experience, and the education and enrichment

the service and the standards you set for
society, the many selfless acts,
the sacrifice, the lives you save,
the sadness you see, and all of the small
things that seem to go unnoticed.
