Today holds a special place in my heart, and as a fire fighter/EMT I will never forget the brave men and women in Public Safety who gave so much. Today, when I arrived to work I found a 9-11 pin on my desk from the President of our company. I work for a small family owned company, who pride themselves on "Made in the USA". Has I took the pin out of the package I stopped as I seen printed on the package "Made in China". As with most Americans, I find myself strugling everyday to just be able to put food on my table and a roof over my head, and yet I am the lucky one that still has a job that has not been sent overseas. I can not and will not wear the pin I was given. The sad things! If I was to take everything out of my house that was not made in my great country... I would have very little to go home to....
