This is a great little TedMed talk given by Eli Beer about the nation-wide volunteer organisation that saves thousands of lives every year.
It crosses boundaries of religion, race and colour and has changed the way that emergency responders are looked at the world over.

Boston Bomber(s) by Stephen Colbert
UPDATE: The deadly attacks at the Boston Marathon Monday impacted many people, including Jeff Bauman, a spectator at the finish line, who lost both legs in the blast.
Boston Medical Center confirmed Bauman was upgraded from critical to serious condition Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, a fund has been set up for Bauman as he recovers from his wounds. As of Wednesday afternoon, more than $20,000 had been raised, with a goal of raising $1 million. To donate to Bucks for Bauman, visit http://www.gofundme.com/ BucksforBauman

Well, I think Mr Colbert wrapped up nicely exactly what we think of the people who perpetrated this heinous crime of terror.

As I sit here listening to the names of those who were murdered on September 11th 10 years ago, being read out by survivors, I think of Frank Bennet Reisman who died that day.

I had no connection to him in 2001, but since I wrote this article on September 11th, 2009, I have him in my heart.
Rest in peace, Frank.
