911

September the 11th is my Birthday but since 911 happened I tend to celebrate either side and keep this day quiet. I have included this video as it shows some of the courage and human spirit that comes out in such tragic circumstances. (Thank you t Judy for sending it to me.)

It is narrated by Tom Hanks.
