Kayla Fludd

On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, tragedy stroke when suicide attackers took over US passenger jets and emerged them into the New York skyscrapers, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people. On this day many hearts were broken, filled with fear, and anger. The 19th anniversary of 9/11 is quickly approaching, and I wanted to reassure first responders in Orangeburg County fire fighters, city police, and sheriff deputies that many individuals including myself are extremely thankful for all that they do to serve and protect our country. I cannot even image what they must see or think to themselves when doing the job that they do. They all put yourselves in dangerous situations all the time to help people that they do not even know, and for that they are heroes.
