Firefighters should show respect at Ground Zero

[Pvt. Stray Dog]

I don't need a picture of MYSELF standing at ground zero to remember being there. This tragedy happened live on TV from coast to coast. NO one is ever going to forget what happened there. Do you relly believe that it is going to fade from memory unless it is documented with You front and center of the picture?
Explain it any way you like, but posing for a photo infront of this site is a trophy for YOU, not for the dead, not for future generations, not for the tired and emotionally drained New York Fire, Police, and EMS workers.
If you want to take a Pic. to remind you how you felt at the time, then take it outside of the restricted area.

Stray - That's right...it wasn't you that was standing out there taking a picture!!! We all, everyone one of us, come with our own answers, our own thoughts, beliefs, ideas, and background. Please stop judging the world by your own standards and accept that some do things differently - and it does not mean they are any less a human being, any less a firefighter - they are simply different!!!!! All of you - focus on what is important and not what you can not change....

Bubbleboy...If Stray can't judge by his own standards, who's standards is he supposed to judge by?? This is a forum. Different viewpoints are discussed here. His view (and mine as well), don't care for your need to photograph yourself at the WTC. I am fully aware that some people don't see a problem with it. That is okay. I'm certainly not losing sleep over the issue.
