Honoring Those Who Paid the Ultimate Price

Like everybody else in America, we wanted to help. We couldn't figure out what we could do, but we knew we had to do something. So we scratched our heads & our fleas & came up with an idea. We want to make sure everybody remembers ALL of America's heroes, not just that 4 planes & thousands of people perished. We wanted to remember every hero. That would be each individual whose life ended abruptly on September 11, 2001 as a result of the horrible tragedy. Every animal coming into our care we name after one of those heroes. We can't possibly hope to get to every name, but we will try. The numbers are gigantic. Bringing it down to one makes it real & personal. We have gotten to "know" each name & the person behind it as we name the pets & then do the research. Names are chosen randomly. Each person who died as a result of terrorist actions that day deserves individual & utmost recognition. Each is equivalent & exalted in our minds & hearts. In our special way, we honor each of those who paid the price on 9/11/01 & salute & cross our paws to you.
