.<font color=magenta>Welcome To The Liberal Free Chat Zone Provbay!!!
I agree with you. This is a common discussion between my brother & I.
I mean no disrespect for the victims of 9/11 or the cops & fire personal. But! They were/are civil servants & victims and most were doing their job... most are not heroes!!! JMO!!!
A Heroe is someone who walks in the face of danger against the odds to free or aid others... those cops & firemen thought the building was going to stand. The Heroes are the ones who went in after it fell & when it was still falling... and the victims.... as sad as it is... they were victims not heroes.
As you can tell this is a sore spot for me. My brother was/is a true hero... 3 campaigns including a year in Saudi... all he got was a ride home and chest full of medals and ribbons!
