As we approach the tenth anniversary of this terrible tragedy, I would like to honor one individual who answered the call to service, and who has done so much to help victims of the attack, Debra Brown Steinberg. Debra was in New York City on September 11, and from her apartment she could see the smoke pouring out from the World Trade Center.
