Just got back from a ceremony at the firehouse next door to me. They lowered the flag to half mast & rang out 10 bells. The bells are rung 10 times whenever a firefighter is killed.

Local TV reporter & cameras were on hand and I got interviewed. I doubt it will make the cut because the reporter began crying when I answered her question and she could not continue. She asked me what I was doing there & I answered that I lived next door....walked by these guys everyday....and wanted to pay my respects to them and to someone I knew that was killed in the WTC. (At this point tears were running down my face...and she was crying also). I then mentioned BCM (Battalion Chief Moran) and Free Republic. I was nervous and crying...and I said James Moran instead of John Moran. Just as I was about to correct myself, she cut the camera and said she needed to compose herself. We were supposed to reshoot, but I had to leave.
