"firefighters have really taken advantage of 9/11..."

Every year on the aniversary, my ambulance company honors my cousin who died in Tower 1 with a message of rememberence on one side of our outside message board.

This year the other side of the board was to simply have the number 417. To honor the total number of all emeregncy first responders ( fire, police and ems) who lost their lives attempting to save him and the others who simply went to work that day.

Our Operations Chief said we couldn't because...

"It would insult our neighboring fire companies"
