  Wallace Boden : [telling his story about 9/11]  It was hell. Dust everywhere and the smell of... emptiness. The colors of the world were gone somehow. So I joined up with some New York firefighters and I started searching through the rubble. John Salka from New York, Colletti, and me, we didn't stop digging. No one there stopped. The three of us wondered aloud if this place would ever be the same. We talked about the future and rebuilding and rebirth, but I never really believed in it. Not in those days. The world felt brutal, ugly. The people who gave their lives that day would never know why. And through all the digging and the dust and the death, we never found a single soul. And I felt like I failed them. Firefighters don't fail people. A hole formed inside of me. Hope is hard to find when you lock it out of your mind. But maybe hope has a way of unlocking itself... if you allow it to. All of this time, and the answers were right here. The future is right here.
