One of the toughest days of the year.


Not many people understand the true gut-wrenching feeling like New Yorkers do.  September 11, 2001 is a day that will be forever etched in my memory.  

I was going to tell you all about what my day was like 13 years ago, but today isn't about me.  It's about all the heroes who put their lives on the line to save others, one of those heroes was my cousin, Billy Wik.  


Today, at school, we stood for a moment of silence after we said the Pledge of Allegiance.  I couldn't help but think about the family members whose hearts still ache for the ones they lost, especially Billy's family.  My thoughts and prayers are with them today, and always.


I'm proud to be an American.  God Bless the USA.
