[QUOTE="Xaven, post: 217816, member: 2988"] The heroics displayed by the firemen and the policemen on 9/11 were truly grand. It is their job, they realize that that can happen to them, and they accept it, because they know that what they do saves people's lives. What bothers me is that they never really got recognition for what they did until 9/11 occurred. I believe that America and Americans are better now than they were before 9/11, they are more grateful for the people that risk their livs every day so the common person can live a life of luxury, so they don't have to risk their own necks. As you can tell, I am pretty pessimistic. I had absolutely no faith in the "common" american, I saw most as self-centered, money grubbing softies. Hopefully, now that their eyes have been somewhat opened, it won't soon be forgotten the principles by which this country was built upon. It is a shame that it took such a tragedy to remind people.
