            <text>I never cared much about the news, or politics for that matter, until 9/11.  It made me realize just how important it is to be involved in choosing who leads us, who represents our country to others.  It also made me see that even if you try to ignore all the bad news that's reported, there are just some things you cannot pretend away.  I was born and raised in NJ, and always madly in love with NYC, and the backdrop of the gleaming towers that had been there my entire life being gone now was devastating to me.  We could see the smoke from Ground Zero from my living room window for days and days afterward, and I could only cry, have horrific nightmares, and relive the moments again and again. I think every single one of us in the tri-state area walked around like zombies for weeks afterward. I have respect for all the first responders like I never had before that day, also.. the sacrifices made were beyond imagining. This was no longer just a job for those people, each of them became angels of mercy on that day, and forever.        </text>

            <text>With prayer for everyone who lost their lives on that day and as a result of that heinous act since.  Also, by giving in some way, either just time or financially, to your local fire or first responders department.  Do something for a soldier.  Make sure to give something back to those who gave all.</text>
