We transport patients internationally across the globe.
In that case, it's not uncommon to visit cities and places where historical events have taken place.
On the return leg of a patient transport to New York,
I stopped by Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan
to offer a prayer.
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were an event that shocked and devastated the world.
Now, a quarter of a century later, that tragedy may be fading from memory.
It is a commonplace observation, yet wars and conflicts
continue to rage in various parts of the world today,
and it goes without saying that they all stem
from human "greed and worldly passions."
As long as humans exist,
this will probably never end,
but I sincerely pray that all conflicts will end,
and that the need to transport patients home due to conflictswill cease.
I am deeply grateful to the many people who understand the nature of our work and say to us, "Please take good care of yourselves."
