September 11, 2001: Into the Breach

It's been said over and over, and still it bears repeating: On 9/11, when terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, murdering thousands, an untold numbers of cops, firefighters, and other first responders did what they so often do -- they headed straight into the smoke and flames, and set about trying to help victims, find survivors, and make everything all right.
