I have often wondered about this as well. I spent two days walking around NYC between 9/13 & 9/15 trying to find some way to help, and here I am 18 years later diagnosed with COPD. I did smoke, but even my doctor was like "You are very young for this..." But I never ever made to connection until recently.

My best friend and I did the same thing and just drove to NYC on Thursday to find something we could help with because staying where we were made us feel so powerless.

No, I'm sorry. Most telling would be that I am female, and second myself and my friend slept in our car while we were there, though not far from Union Square. I would image there were a lot of people like us though that were close enough to get there because the compulsion to DO SOMETHING was overwhelming.

We were at ground zero and the immediate vicinity most of the time. The dust cloud was still thick in the air.

I respect the hell out of you, for so many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that you are not afraid to rock the boat. You will stand for right because it's right, not because it's popular. Thank you.

So, how does it feel representing our generation is such an awesome way?
