B11 - Resilience and Culture since 9-11, How we can survive in the 21st Century

Today’s First Responders and their families are paying a cost, a much higher price than we realize to serve the public.
The costs are truly measurable; in human terms, domestic relationships work, home and much more. It is people. The human toll before and since 9-11 across ALL responders in our nation are mounting at exponential rates.
We must NOT allow this alarming trend to continue. It is not enough to by the “shiny new things” but, rather an investment in the absolute most important element, our people.
We have lost responders and thousands in peril, they are hurting. We must come up to the realization that it must be people first, our people. We can train to respond, but often get overwhelmed when the lights go out, the sirens are silenced, we never get a chance to breathe and become normal, again. They never get switched off.
