My late husband was one of the folks who went in trying to dig people out after the towers had fallen. He had been a construction worker and so he knew how those towers had been built. He went week after week, and only came home on week-ends.

I have no proof, but I believe that all the dust and asbestos, etc. were what led to the cancer that killed him.

I'm crying as I type this. Not only did all of those poor people die that day, but quite a few more unsung heroes died trying to rescue and recover.

And you know what? Even if he had known that it would eventually kill him, he would have gone anyway.

I still love that man so much...

Your late husband was a hero. I hope my children can learn from those values. Honor, loyalty, and courage to only name a few.
