Interesting site featuring scraps of paper found in the debris of the World Trade Center and music from Blue Man Group. Broadband REALLY recommended.

Not only should we remember the courage of our fellow first responders, but we should also take this as a chance to learn how to improve to help keep it from happening again. Yes, that really could go into talk of some political issues and terrorism. But, to keep it EMS related, JEMS has a list of things here that they put together in 2002. http://www.jems.com/911/

Sadly, when putting this post together I noticed how few current sites are out there discussing 9/11. Those I saw, including television coverage and special events, here locally were 9/11-Katrina mixed events. Now, I do believe it is appropriate to mix these issues this year. But, I am worried to think that 9/11 might not have been mentioned as much this year. I guess next year will be a test. Katrina will have it's own mark on US history. 9/11 will not be the day to remember it...but to clarify it makes sense this year, it is still an ongoing current event.
