I watched on TV from the clinic lobby as the pure aching tones of Taps faded away into stillness, as the police officers and fire fighters held their salutes, as the bagpipes played "America the Beautiful."
Tears sprang to my eyes. And I found myself saying a prayer for the rescue workers, the construction workers, the families, the near-misses. May they be granted rest.
