    The Best Tribute to 9-11 for me (makes me tear up every time)

    Since the Blowing Smoke is a place we can share things that are non SMF related.  Here is mine for today. No words are even needed for this video.  Just watch and reflect on that Day.  Think of the lives lost, and the folks that gave their all to help too. Kat
