BATTALION 1: "Battalion 1 to Manhattan."
DISPATCHER: "Battalion 1."
BATTALION 1: "We just had a - a plane crashed into an upper floor of the World Trade Center. Transmit a second alarm and start relocating companies into the area."
DISPATCHER: "Ten-four Battalion 1."
With those words, the world would never be the same. Today, we remember all of the fallen and vow to never forget.

On this day... 23 years ago 246 people will be going to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted. United We Stand.

Sussex Antique Tractor Show, 66th Annual didn't disappoint this year. It is always amazing to see farm machinery older than me. Day 2 is up tomorrow. If you have time, stop and enjoy some history. It is free to attend. Plenty of fun stuff for the kids. Tractor parade at 1pm. Hope to see you there!
