The events of 9/11 are etched on our countries heart, and today on the tenth anniversary of that tragic day they are at the front of our minds. In 2001 I was a college student at Iowa State University studying political science and volunteering in the disaster services industry. I know that these events changed the path that my life would take. As a result of the focus and vision that day instilled in us today I work full time in Emergency Management and dedicate more time as a part time firefighter paramedic for my community. I hope that you will join me in reflecting on the past ten years and think not only of the past, but how we are all moving forward.
