SHOUT OUT to All the Public Service employees who kept this country upright on 9/11.

[MichiganVote]

Thank you fellow public service employees who worked all day under very difficult circumstances. I know, I did it too. We did it together.

SHOUT OUT to the First Responders everywhere. Your "risks" for us were more than we deserved.

SHOUT OUT to our military who persevered through the dark shadows of that day. You gave us hope.

SHOUT OUT to our city, town and rural area police and fire. WE knew we could count on you to be there.

SHOUT OUT to the Teachers who taught school amidst scared kids and anxious parents-some of who had loved ones in the affected areas of NYC, the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania.

SHOUT OUT to our school bus drivers who had the very serious work of delivering our babies home to us that day of all days.

SHOUT OUT to our Transit workers, our Port workers, our office workers, our airport personnel, our garbage and city services personnel. YOU stayed on the job and we thank you.

These are the people who kept us safe, who worked tirelessly to keep the US upright on that day and everyday.

4. Does anyone ever think of the job our sanitation workers did?

Lower Manhattan was covered in ash. Up to Canal St., the place was drowned in an ash blizzard. Dangerous, deadly ash.

The buildings kept burning.

Our sanitation workers scrubbed every inch of lower Manhattan. Can you imagine the horrors they found in that ash? Or what it did as they breathed it in? (I was 32 blocks away, never in the thick of it and I went from using my asthma inhaler three or four times a year to five or six times a week for the next five years.)

I never hear a mention of the incredible job those service workers did. No romance in street cleaning.

But my god, what a job they did!

5. They didn't get enough credit for a Herculean effort.

6. You're right. They never get mentioned.

I'm sure many of them were traumatized as well. Special for the sanitation workers.
