For anyone who lived through the day, September 11, 2001 changed the world.
The terrorist attacks especially changed the world for first responders – the police, firefighters and emergency medical technicians who are the first to put themselves in harm’s way, even after that horrible day. Like most people, Virginia Beach EMS Chief Ed Brazle remembers the day well. Unlike most people, he went immediately after the attacks to the still-burning Pentagon to provide relief for his Northern Virginia counterparts.
