never forget

Today’s date is one of those unfortunate days that will always live on in infamy.  The attacks on September 11th changed everything.  Almost 3,000 people lost their lives in the attacks.  Today we honor all of them, but especially the 343 FDNY firefighters that lost their lives in the collapse of the towers.  It is a hell of a thing to be running into a building that people are running out of.  It is my belief that most of them knew what their fate would be as they climbed up those stairs, pushing further and further and against all odds to rescue victims. I am making this a team wod because firefighters always work in teams.  It is a small thing, but let us honor these brave individuals and all that lost their lives on September 11th through this hero wod.
